How a Siphon Works: Step-by-Step Diagram & Explanation #216610 (License: Personal Use)

This educational diagram depicts the sequential operation of a siphon: (1) priming the tube to initiate flow, (2) liquid descending under gravity through the longer leg, (3) continuous flow maintained by pressure differential across the U-bend, and (4) cessation when the upper reservoir empties or air enters. The green tube represents the siphon conduit, with orange dots indicating fluid positions at each stage.

Used on physics, engineering, or DIY plumbing educational pages to explain fluid dynamics principles; targets students, educators, and hobbyists seeking visual understanding of siphon mechanics.
