2B60.10Hero's fountainPIRA 1000
2B60.10Hero's fountain2B60.10An arrangement of reservoirs connected by tubes that forces a stream of water above the highest reservoir.
2B60.10Hero's fountainFc-2A clever arrangement that allows water to fountain higher than the reservoir.
2B60.10Hero's FountainM-280A variant of Hero's fountain in which water shoots up above the level of the reservoir. Diagram.
2B60.15fountain in a flask27-3.2A little water is boiled in a flask, a stopper with a single tube is inserted, the whole thing is inverted into a water reservoir.
2B60.20siphonPIRA 1000
2B60.20siponFe-1A glass "U" tube demonstrates a siphon.
2B60.20siphonDisc 13-10Start with two beakers half full of water and with a connecting hose full of water. Lift one beaker, then the other.
2B60.23siphon in a bell jar16-4.12Water is transferred through a "U" tube from a sealed flask to an open beaker when the assembly is placed in a bell jar and evacuated.
2B60.24siphons16-4.11An apparatus that shows atmospheric pressure (not cohesion) to be the basis for the siphon action.
2B60.25pressure measurement in siphonM-281Hook a manometer to the upper portion of a siphon.
2B60.26gas siphonM-318Carbon dioxide is siphoned from one beaker to another.
2B60.29siphonsM-278A mechanical model of a siphon consists of chain hung over a pulley to a lower level. A diagram of a intermittent siphon (Tantalus cup) is shown.
2B60.30self starting siphon15-10.12An inverted "U" tube sealed in the side of a beaker makes a self starting siphon.
2B60.30self-starting siphonM-279A diagram of a self-starting siphon.
2B60.35intermittent siphonFe-2A funnel with a "?" tube inside makes a self starting intermittent siphon.
2B60.35intermittentM-20a.1The picture looks like the intermittent siphon.
2B60.40Maiotte flask and siphonPIRA 1000
2B60.40Mariotte flask and siphonFe-3A Mariotte flask is used to make a siphon with a constant flow rate.
2B60.40Mariotte flaskFk-1The height of an open tube inserted through the stopper of a jug with an outlet at the bottom regulates flow.
2B60.60hydraulic ramPIRA 1000
2B60.60hydraulic ram2B60.60Same as M-291.
2B60.60hydraulic ramAJP 48(11),980Analysis of the hydraulic ram with picture of a demonstration device.
2B60.60hydraulic ram17-11.1A large quantity of water falling a small height pumps a small quantity of water a large height.
2B60.60hydraulic ramM-291A diagram of how to construct a demonstration hydraulic ram.
2B60.60hydraulic ramM-20dA glass model of a hydraulic ram that lifts water higher than the supply.
2B60.70spiral pumpM-22f.2A spiral pump made of a glass tube coil.
2B60.75lift pumpPIRA 1000
2B60.75lift pumpM-22f.3A glass model of a lift pump.
2B60.80force pumpM-22f.4A glass model of a force pump.
2B60.85hydraulic liftM-22f.5A glass model of a hydraulic lift.
