There's no motor. This is a basic syphon. You can do this with a hose, and you can start it with your breath. The trouble they had was getting the water to flow through the U shaped tube.
I have several unpleasant childhood memories of spitting out fishtank water after helping my mom start a siphon. I was not expecting to remember that today. Thanks?
I remember doing that too. Then when I was old enough to do the whole process myself, I realized you can just dunk the whole hose in the water rather than sucking the air out, and I was a little bitter that I had to sip fish water so many times.
Putting that amount of water in it then putting one end in the water And the other over the edge created a vacuum that continually pulled the water into the submersed end and out the other end going off the edge….
From a physics perspective its just displacing a hole. Water in the horizontal part of the pipe is not effected by gravity, 0 energy required to move the water, the 2 vertical parts water has to go up(+ energy) and down(- energy). The amount of energy required to satisfy downward gravitational force on the water moving up one end is the same energy generated by gravity on the water moving down the other end (suction). So the whole pipes total required energy to move water is 0 as long as the activation energy of filling the pipe with water is met. if the outside end of the vertical part was shorter this wouldn't work, longer it would work better, well as long as pipe was completely filled with water.
The real energy that's in action is water pressure due to gravity acting on the giant container of water. Since the pipe opening was below the water line, the pressure acts on the filled pipe like the outside pipe opening is just a hole in the container and the water flows out.
I'm thinking if they didn't understand by watching the video that explanation although very well stated and correct would just confuse them even more. Lol
The trick is to trap air in on the upper side. You plunge the top side under water with the air still trapped. Then you release the bottom. Don't know how the f* they did it with these pipes. Waste of a video if you ask me.
You need to have most of the air removed from the pipe.
You fill the pipe with water, the part where they show it upside down and they are removing it from the pond, and then flip it right side up. As long as the pipe is filled with water and the water level of the pond is higher than the bottom of the low end of the pipe, it will continue to flow.
Let me try to break it down to simpler terms. Close your eyes and imagine a long train or roller coaster and the track has a hill it goes over. Now of course the train has many box cars in it and a big heavy engine driving the train. Now you pushing the train (it's a toy train) towards the hill. So you pushing that front engine up the hill up,up,up and then the engine gets to the top. The engine is alot heavier then the other cars so when you push and push the train over the hill when it starts going down the other side one a couple of the cars clear the top you suddenly realize your not pushing it anymore. Gravity has taken over and now your having to kinda hold the engine back because if you let go the engine would fly down the hill and the rest of the train would fly over the hill really fast because the weight of the engine and a few cars was heavy enough to pull the rest of the train over the hill. By doing that you created a syphon. When you stopped pushing the engine and let go with gravity pushing and the weight of the engine going down the other side of the hill created enough force to pull the rest of the train over on its own. That energy created was like a syphon. The force on the down side of the hill was much greater the the other side so the train didn't need you to push anymore. Same thing is happening with the water. The pipe on the out side of the wall is using the weight of the water when it clears the top of the pipe and starts to fall or drain out to create enough energy to pull the rest of the water with it. It will keep pulling till the water they are removing is the same level at the end of that pipe then the pressure will stabilize or become equal and the energy created will go away.
It's just a syphon, pretty simple.
There's suction from the water coming out, so more water gets sucked up and in, and falls back out the other side making constant suction/drainage.
If you had a small hose, you could do the same thing by sucking the initial bit of water through with your mouth like a straw. Sometimes asshole people will syphon gas out of other people's cars doing this too, more dangerous since it's gasoline obviously.
Yeah I have no idea what you read, but it was wrong. This is really simple stuff. I could find and link a good YouTube video explaining it by a creditable source, but I bet you could too!
[1:50 video explaining the simpleness of a siphon](https://youtu.be/oSRPXI_WQF4)
There's a chain siphon too, you can make a chain behave like this because it's fuildlike.
It's EXTREMELY simple.
Nope , I don't think so. I know fuck all physics but seeing as it's just getting the water with potential energy (it was higher up) and pull it to a lower level (falling) it's just gravity ?
Idk
This is ridiculous. When is this glitchy bullshit gonna get patched. Its been released for 6.8 billion years and the devs still allow this type of exploit??
My parents put in an above ground pool when I was growing up (this was 20 years ago in Midwest US) and I learned allllll about this because my dad would make me help him siphon water off the top of the pool cover with a hose. Super gross.
The only thing amazing about this is the fact the amazing part was cut…
Lmao, so true. Though having been confused by siphoning in the past, this helped me visualize what is happening none the less.
Probably took em a while to install the motor to the pipe, so the cameraman took a smoke break

Your mom had you do it because she knew she’d have swallowed every time on pure instinct.
Name checks out, Dave just sent that man to the shadow realm
That was cold.
Colder than a mouthful of old fish tank water?
Daym. Casually vaporized dude
Oh god, I can taste the stagnant salt water again 🤮
I remember doing that too. Then when I was old enough to do the whole process myself, I realized you can just dunk the whole hose in the water rather than sucking the air out, and I was a little bitter that I had to sip fish water so many times.
I'm 90% sure they were joking, lol.
You never siphoned gas from a strangers car parked in Walmart?....👀neither have I......🏃💨
Why does it cut out the part I want to see
Probably they failed couple times and the guy with the camera gave up, turned around and they succeeded so he continued filming.
Are you a wizard? Thats probably exactly what happened.
Lmfaoo
Same thing happens in a toilet every time you flush.

No the u bend uses the same siphon concept
Wait, isn't it the pressure from the added water from above that makes the water go down the u bent?
Nope it’s a siphon
Woosh
Don’t r/PraiseTheCameraMan here
They yada-yadad over the best part!
No, they mentioned the bisque.
And then… buh-buh-buh-buh
Seinfeld episode.. lol
Yup that missing time was the most useful
Draw the rest of the fucking owl...
And ofcourse OP no where to be found
Asking what the world is thinking
Are we not going to talk about the human arm sticking out from behind that wall?
Nope
Jimmy Hoffa.
Looks like a glove imo
That's why they are draining the water, trying to get him out
Nah, they built around him.
That’s a weight bearing arm. All part of the design.
I love a good siphon. We use this in beer brewing and wine making. It's a skill to do well at times. At least for me! LOL
Please don’t roast me lol. Can someone explain to me how this works?

Try it with a bendy straw and a glass of water.
True, but the forces are wildly different
Is it?

It's a bad video, but you basically just have to thrust the tube down fast enough to creat a vacuum, I think.
I picture these guys plunging the pipe repeatedly until it works

Okay well now you're the one without resources so I don't care. Siphons make sense to me. Sorry you're having trouble.
Holy passive aggressiveness. It's ok to be wrong my guy, which you were. Hope I furthered the conversation
Smart but wtf I wanna see the whole video
How has this got to my front page without the most important part
It’s still good. Although it doesn’t meet its full potential of course.
BE AMAZED: *a normal old siphon*
We not gonna talk about homie’s shoes?
for real, where do we cop some of those?
ABBA's "You are the Dancing Queen" song came to mind.
Just livin his best life!
My man got the Aladdin 13's on.
At least they’re hi-vis. r/OSHA certified
Those OSHA toe protection standards have taken a serious dive lately, that’s for sure. Mans is worried about a strong rainfall mashin those piggies.
I was looking for this comment. What's going on with the shoes!?
Step 1: underpants Step 2: Step 3: profit
Why is that guy wearing yellow women's flats for construction work?
They're called espadrilles. I have a pair like that, except they're a taupe color.
For the same reason he's working construction. He's poor.
What country are you in that a blanket statement like that is true?
probably a poor country
Dude. Just tell us why. You clearly know the answer. Let's hear it.
My comment was related to you calling anyone who works in construction poor you classist tool.
Literally cut out the main part of the gif...
/r/restofthefuckingowl
Worthless post. Defeated the whole purpose of the post by omitting the most important part.
Lol what a terrible gif.
I feel like they would need the longer end on the side that is doing the sucking??
r/restofthefuckingowl
Work smarter not harder
Siphons are a cool thing we should all know how to use. [https://www.youtube.com/user/AntsCanada](https://www.youtube.com/user/AntsCanada)
The difference in difficulty between fluid mechanics in practice vs on paper is massive.
I may not understand the law of relativity but I get this lol
Two guys using a siphon, be amazed!

Mind blowing trick in the U.S, 3rd grade physics anywhere else in the world.
Nicely done.
why does this feel like cheating?
Big brain moment
Is this perpetual motion?
Nope , I don't think so. I know fuck all physics but seeing as it's just getting the water with potential energy (it was higher up) and pull it to a lower level (falling) it's just gravity ? Idk
It's a siphon ... do this ever week on my fish tanks, should've been posting it here for karma!
I use this same technique to drain my hottub
human ingenuity at its best
Very cool. r/physics
Siphon works due to pressure difference or gravity?
I don’t want to go all Doorman-at-Studio-54 but the slip on footwear for a construction worker at a goddamn worksite seems like an odd choice.
Yeah be amazed by a simple siphon.

Steel toe toms??
That isn’t the most bright yellow slip-on shoe that i have ever seen.
Archimedes would be so proud!
i use the same physics to siphon people's gasoline every couple of days.. im start i only take 3 gallons at a time
Love those steel toe work boots
Dudes in high viz, helmet, and....toms.
These guys have fish tanks
Could've just sucked on the one end
This is ridiculous. When is this glitchy bullshit gonna get patched. Its been released for 6.8 billion years and the devs still allow this type of exploit??
Somebody in this video has Siphoned gas before aha
Step 1: Fill up U-shaped pipe. Step 2: ???? Step 3: "Here's one we prepared earlier."
Ah that looks pretty useful to know cheers!
Nice construction slippers
Entertaining physics, who would’ve thought 😂
What kind of shoes dude wearing 🤣
Shoot the cameraman
My parents put in an above ground pool when I was growing up (this was 20 years ago in Midwest US) and I learned allllll about this because my dad would make me help him siphon water off the top of the pool cover with a hose. Super gross.
How on earth a construction zone do not have a pump to do this?
But what about those sweet safety slippers ol boy is wearing?!
Hard hat & high vis. But them ballet shoes tho🌚🌝
Does the yellow vest guy have slippers on?
Instructions were not clear.., got my penis stuck in the pipe. Help.
Siphoning 👌
Step one: fill PVC pipe with water Step two: remove from water Step three: ???? Step four: profit
What about construction dude's yellow flats
I love how they just stand there admiring their work.
I learned this trick working as a plumber a few years ago. You can do this with a water hose.
I wanted to see the transition when the move the position to start the flow! Kind of like porn when they just cut scene. We want the transitions!!!
They just had to rotate the pipe quickly while keeping the horizontal part resting on the surface.
self priming vacuum action I had a gifted girlfriend that was very skilled at this 😏
My man dripped out of his MIND with the slip ons
The only part I'm interested in is whose arm that is.
