Siphon Phenomenon/Siphon Principle - Science Museum recommends exhibition design and planning concept deepening plan

What It Shows

By observing the effect of the siphon device, visitors can master the knowledge of siphon principle, inspire them to discover the application of siphon principle in daily life, and stimulate their interest in scientific exploration.

Science Behind It

Siphon principle: It is caused by the gravitational force and potential energy difference between liquid molecules, that is, using the pressure difference of the water column to make water rise and then flow to a lower place. source factory of science museum exhibits - Shanghai Inertia Automation Co., Ltd. Reminder: Due to the different atmospheric pressures on the water surface at the pipe mouth, water will flow from the side with higher pressure to the side with lower pressure until the atmospheric pressures on both sides are equal, and the water surface inside the container becomes the same height. The water will stop flowing The siphon phenomenon can quickly extract water from the container.

How to Operate

Visitors can move one of the jars by hand to observe the effect of siphon changes in the model.
