	Siphon - LoveToKnow 1911
		The simple siphon is used by filling it with the liquid to be decanted, closing the longer limb with the finger and plunging the shorter into the liquid; and it must be filled for each time of using.
		In the siphon used as a container for aerated waters a tube passes through the neck of the vessel, one end terminating in a curved spout while the other reaches to the bottom of the interior.
		The "Regency portable fountain," patented in 1825 by Charles Plinth, was the prototype of the modern siphon, from which it differed in having a stopcock in place of a spring valve.

	Siphon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is probable that Ctesibius was the discoverer of the principle of the siphon [1].
		The siphon may be primed by closing the intake and outlets and filling the siphon at the crest.
		The velocity of the siphon is thus driven solely by the height difference between the surface of the upper reservoir and the drain point.

	Inverted Siphon. Depressed Sewer. Design Calculations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Unlike the main sewer pipe, the siphon pipes flow under pressure and must have flow velocities greater than 3 ft/s (0.9 m/s) to keep material suspended; therefore, several siphons having smaller diameters than the main sewer may be required.
		Often, all siphon inverts are located at the same elevation (the elevation of the lowest siphon) for ease of construction.
		If the siphon flows input by the user exceed the discharge in the main culvert, then the flow in the last siphon will be negative, which will generate the error message.

	Free Launch (Insert) Rigid Tower
		But it is mainly intended to demonstrate the possibility of a variant orbital tower - the siphon - which uses the centrifugal force generated in a high rigid tower to raise a 250,000 km train of tethered vehicles.
		In the orbital siphon, the pull of one side is gravitation, and on the other side centrifugal force, and the excess of centrifugal force causes a net outward motion of the set of connected bodies.
		But the siphon offers the outline of a solution to this problem: once a minimum tower - perhaps a Fullerene thread - was deployed, it could be used to haul up a larger tower, in a bootstrap operation, where most of the energy would be expended in bringing materials to the tower base.

	MIXING IT UP
		His device was similar to the familiar siphon bottles of the early 1900s except he used a stop-cock instead of the spring activated valve.
		It was not necessary to remove the siphon head from the bottle to accomplish this but to simply remove the small cap on the top of the head and then the interior parts became accessible.
		During the filling process, the siphon was placed inverted on the filling machine which was designed with a screen of some type to protect the worker should bottle explode.

	Aquatic Management Bottom Intake Siphon Drain
		A siphon is simply a tube completely full of water with the discharge end lower than the intake end.
		Automatic siphoning can be built into the assembly so it starts when water is high and only lowers the water to a predetermined level.
		The siphon will start and will run until it draws the water down to a predetermined level where there is a vent cut in the underside of the pipe.

	The Gravel Vacuum - The First Tank Guide - Siphoning Your Aquarium Water and Cleaning Your Aquarium Gravel
		The narrower siphon tube will need to be 4-6' long to make it easy for you to reach the bucket and move the gravel vacuum around as necessary.
		If you release the pressure on the ball while keeping the end of the siphon closed, then the water should be sucked into the siphon and over the lip of the tank where it can begin to flow down into the bucket as soon as you release your finger.
		Moving the gravel vac excessively, or pulling it up and down while the siphon is running will lead to a less efficiently cleaned tank and can stir up a lot of debris that would otherwise be drawn through the siphon and into the bucket.

	Super Siphon Self Priming Siphon Pump - Pangaea Expeditions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The Super Siphon is a self-priming hose used for the transfer of liquids.
		As the siphon is inserted, the glass ball moves upward, allowing fluid to move into the plastic hose.
		Every time that the siphon is moved upward, the glass ball moves to the bottom of the aparatus, preventing liquid from escaping back into the container.

	Origins of the Siphon
		The Siphon was a simplication of the coal mountain.
		Since the hardworking diggers which kept supplying the siphon tended to wear out and 'die' more rapidly than the idle layabout diggers, the population of diggers ultimately came to consist entirely of the latter.
		The orbital siphon is about a layman venturing into science, working out something for himself, rather than waiting for scientists to tell him.

	Stanley Steam Car Water Siphon
		One end of the siphon (bottom of the photo) is threaded so that the siphon may be permanently attached to a 3/4" piece of pipe going to the water tank.
		Steam is applied to a fitting that protrudes through the center of the siphon to the end where the siphon connects to the 3/4" pipe (you can see the 1/4" tubing from the steam supply centered in the 3/4" pipe threaded end of the siphon).
		When the steam siphon valve is opened a small amount to admit steam to the siphon the steam rushes down the 3/4" pipe and into the water tank (a generous 1-1/2" diameter vent pipe is provided with the water tank to prevent it from becoming pressurized by the steam).

	Fluid Dynamic Siphons, Inc.
		The automatic siphon system stores liquid in a tank until a certain elevation of the liquid is reached (the high water line), then the siphon automatically comes into operation and rapidly drains the tank to the low water line.
		Even longer periods of rest can be achieved by installing two siphons in the dosing tank; the siphons alternately discharge the liquid out of the tank into one-half of the field at a time.
		The Fluid Dynamic Automatic Siphon is manufactured from chemical resistant materials which are unaffected by the fluids found in domestic sewage.

	Smooth Siphon
		The problem with the first siphon simulation models was that they simply freely accelerated upwards before being sharply braked when maximum radial velocity was reached, and they then lifted new payloads very sharply off the surface of the Earth one after the other, and cut them free from the top of siphon.
		The siphon is not permitted to accelerate freely from a standing start, but is instead constrained to slow linear acceleration.
		Further numerical simulations indicate that if a non-rigid siphon is constrained to very slow acceleration up to full speed, the mass chain will deflect back from radial against the direction of rotation, but will continue to raise masses.

	Fluid Dynamic Siphons, Inc. Automatic Dosing Siphons for Small Disposal Plants
		A fabricated siphon has several glued joints all of which must be air and watertight or the siphon will likely fail.
		A fabricated siphon is prone to dimensional variations due to human error or carelessness.
		It is important that the invert of the siphon be flat at the top in order to force as large an air bubble as possible across the invert of the siphon as the siphon comes into operation.

	Siphon Principle
		During a lab on the structure of the heart, students used a siphon bulb and a mechanical bulb (only allows fluid to flow in one direction) in an attempt to see which was more efficient at moving a fluid.
		I demonstrated the ability of using the siphon bulb to begin the flow of water from one container to another as long as the opening of the outlet tube was lower than the water level of the intake tube.
		If you were to increase the distance of your siphon tube while you have a flow going from one tank to the other (lower) tank and you were to try to extend your tube over a wall of (I think its close to 30-37 feet) the siphon would break down.

	The Siphon
		c) the variation in fluid current as a tank is siphoned to another tank, and the final fluid levels are equal: i.e., h approaches zero.
		c) If you siphon from one tank to an identical tank, the result is the same as in b) but with half the time constant.
		This is the formula for the effective total capacitance for two capacitors in series, and the same result is found for the electrical case.

	A gravity-feed siphon topoff system
		You say: There is rigid airline tubing going from near the bottom of the jug, through one of the holes in the stopper, after which it's connected to flexible airline tubing, and that flexible airline tubing goes down into the sump.
		A siphon is started between the jug and the sump, thorough this airline tubing, and a knot is tied in the tubing to get the right drip rate (that actually works).
		I first tried this with a plastic "gasoline can," and the vacuum generated by the siphon would contract the jug, which would allow water to flow long after it was supposed to stop.

		Direct sunlight is not a concern since Heat Siphon's cabinet is made of a UV stabilized, flame retardant plastic.
		Heat Siphon should be level to help drainage of condensation and rainwater.
		A very rough estimate of heat loss per 100 foot is 2500 BTU/hr for every 10° F difference in temperature between the pool water and ground surrounding the pipe, which translates to about 3% to 5% increase in run time.

	Siphon
		The rising water level has primed the siphon and it begins to siphon water from the reservoir over the dam when the water level reaches the top curve in the siphon.
		The siphon continues to move water over the dam until the reservoir water level lowers to the level of the open left end of the siphon tube.
		Most siphons require that the tube first be filled with water by a person's actions.

	Siphon (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term siphon is used for a number of biological structures, either because flowing liquids are involved or because the object is shaped like a siphon.
		In these structures, the physical phenomenon known as the siphon effect is not present.
		A portion of the human internal carotid artery running through the cavernous sinus is called the carotid siphon because of its shape.

	EZ Siphon - The easy way to Transfer liquids - FREE Shipping!
		The EZ Siphon, sometimes known as a safety siphon or super siphon, is manufactured and developed in the United States.
		Since the EZ Siphon does NOT need to be placed in the mouth in order to prime it, there is no chance of swallowing or inhaling the liquid being transferred or its vapors.
		The outlet end of the EZ Siphon is 1/2 inch standard pipe and therefore attaches to a garden hose when a longer length of hose is needed.

	Super Siphon any gas or liquid with a few quick shakes
		Whether it’s around the house, yard, or ranch, or keeping an extra one in the trunk of your vehicle, or in your boat, the uses are endless.
		A Super Siphon in your trunk gives you the same insurance "just in case." Being somewhere remote, and knowing you can transfer gas to get you to a gas station is just one of many reasons you will appreciate having a Super Siphon in every vehicle you own.
		It is easy to use, and once you get one, you will realize all the possibly uses, and will probably order another, especially if you want to use one for aquariums, ponds, or drinking water, and use the other for gas and oil products.
