this is a very simple siphon
you would require a transparent cup,
a bendable trimmed straw and scissors
with the scissors make a small hole at the bottom of the glass
then take one of the straws which can bend
which has....prints on it
take the long edge of the straw and
fix it very tightly in the bottom hole of the cup
the straw should be fixed nicely
there should be no leakage between the cup and the straw
and also apply a little bit of glue
to secure the straw in place
now fill water in the cup
initially nothing will happen, keep raising the water level
nothing happens, now once the water level
crosses or goes up the bend
a fast stream of water comes down the pipe
this is a very very simple siphon
you can enjoy the same experiment using
colored water
now pour colored water in the cup, initially nothing happens
pour some more, nothing happens. but once the water level
goes up the bend
a fast stream of water comes down the pipe
this is a very amazing siphon
you just need a cup, some bent straw
and water
so enjoy it
