The Surprising Science of Siphons

How does the principle of conservation of mass flow explain the mechanics of siphoning and its surprising similarities to fluid dynamics in living organisms and traffic systems?

I think not only the liquid level but tube level too

hum, so it means if I want to perfectly split in half any liquid, all I need are 2 identical receptacles that are leveled to each others, and a tube.

I like that dark red liquid too.

I'm a mature adult

You can also make a simple level with a clear hose too. Neat stuff!

I don't need to know how it works, i just need your gas. lol

that rare moments when Neil has no damn clue about what Chuck is talking about and the look on his face... priceless

Yeah, I'm "siphoning" right now, lol...Afternoon Delight strain, but at 5am.

Excellent explanation of how siphons work. Excellent. This is the kind of science every person should know and learn. Applicable science for every day use.

You can also blow into the hose instead of sucking the air out. If the liquid level is too low, you might need to cover the led but it should work most of the time.

So you actually can't siphon gas with most modern cars. Not through the spot for the pump. That put a block in it for that exact reason. I found out when i needed to empty the gas tank to take a truck to the scrap yard. Made what should have been quick and easy to a major pain.

Chuck is using all his willpower not to make a joke about Neil sucking that liquid.

He didn’t say “keep looking up”

So if it’s a matter of air pressure and not gravity, then this would work while in orbit in space, right?

When your gas tank goes empty, you know who did it too. lol

Strippers protest this video.

What does the sink say to the showerhead?
"Your mom's a hose!"

This reminds me I have wine I need to rack off today.

Chuck made this uncomfortable and hard to watch.

I seek to know the workings of certain devices and I think It could benefit the shoe if you teach about how AIR COMPRESSION Devices work @StarTalk
An air compressor is something that stumps me to this day. I'm sure myself and others would totally appreciate a video!
Thanks for your time.

Chuck finally got to give that disappointed side eye that Neil always gives him😅

chuck needs to stop trying to derail what neils says with constant interruptions.

What about when you blow into the pipe and the "red liquid" starts flowing back into the pipe and out the other side, what is that called?

The way the Squid moves was a little bit... Squid pro quo... 🤣👍

You're not fooling me Neil and Chuck. You know D@#$ well that's grape drink. lol jk jk

Haha haha please stop….. every part of this was giving chuck to much ammo lol lol

If you don't know how that works you need to go back to the 6th grade .. ..

Neil is the kind of uncle to ask what's the meaning of 'smh' when he sees it over texts 😂

Came here coz i knew the comments on the thumbnail would not disappoint😂

Hello. Good time 🎉

thats pretty cool. you should do one on how carbanation works in liquids, like why is my coke "flat".

you need better audio processing

Damnit Chuck lmao

I just love you guys together! Always a great Star Talk!❤

This is how I water my plants in a desert.
Since we have a swamp cooler, I just ran a line from the cooler tub (on the roof ) to our plants (on the ground), set the height of the tube compared to flow rate coming in, then down on the ground give about two good drags on the end.... and viola!
Steady water flow to our plants that make it survivable in an arid climate.
Just have to move ground end around to different locations to keep continuity of growth.

some people dont understand but laughing is such a good feeling...

The thumbnail looks like Neil really is trying to go to the stars

As Snoop Dogg once said, “hoses will be hoses” 🤷🏽‍♂️

I was onboard until Neil said "vahz." I'm sorry, we're not allowing that anymore. We, in the anglosphere. If you don't have a London accent, you can't say vahz. Vase, rhymes with base. Ohtani steals another base.

chuck is coked out of his mind.

😂🤣

Chuck is so cool 😎. Thank you. ISRAEL ✨

As always high level of science and great explanations and examples!
THANK YOU!
By my side as funny part now I understand scientific how my grand father took care about the wine in the barrel or the sauerkraut …😂
Good luck and God bless you all!

Yesterday's thieves are thwarted by today's plastic bits in the fuel filler tube.

Tomorrow's thieves? Pickup the car, turn it on its side, and pour the gas out using a forklift. Hooray, we've come full circle back to needing locking caps hahahaha
