HIS FACE AT 6:42..... He GENUINELY is excited to see his creation start to work. That's the face of a man that wants to acquire endless cool pieces of knowledge just because he loves sharing it with others. I wish you were my teacher in school.

Your videos are always so interesting. They really inspire me to make these kinds of contraptions and experiment. As a way to pay this back, here's a little trick that you don't know about. When you have to empty a bottle full of water/liquid quickly, give it a nice swirl just before pouring. This way you create a vortex or whirlpool inside the bottle that lets air rush in at the same time that water comes out. Hope you at least find that interesting!
I cannot believe, that youtube has not pointed me towards your contents sooner! Thank you so much for sharing your enlightment! Unparalleled work, effort, history research, etc.!
If I would have had the same demonstration in my classes, I would have chosen an other profession Well done. Loved the idea adding colloration to see the flow better.
I wonder if that oscillation in the large unit comes from the low volume of water in the catch basin? If that were more full, and more able to provide a constant stream of water, would the fountain go higher and be more consistent?
@@anthonvonlareto9617 I searched around and found some answers.. Please do let me know if it works. It'll be good.. Also check out dosatron pump system.. It's spring loaded.. Might be wat you're looking for
@@jeffcook8501 But none of the water going into the bottom is then going back up. Eventually the full bottle will be empty, the empty bottle will be full, and there is no more pressure to run the system.
@@PantherophisG After watching the video again you are right the way it is plumed the water won't run forever. At the end he shows a fountain inside 2 bottles. This system plumbing is how I thought he had the others setup.
dear bruce yeany, I love your videos since it shows science as science with solid proof. I hope you are in good health. Keep making these incredible videos. LOVE FROM INDIA
This is why I love physics, just looking at the device my head is brimming with questions, how big it would need to be in order to for the water to flow non stop for the whole day? Would it still work if the fountain part were bellow the reservoir? What would happen to the water flow if you change the girth of each pipe individually? And so many others.... I should build one myself =P
Bruce Yeany, at 3:41 I understand your point. Some people claim that putting the two lower water containers at the same elevation is the "solution" and that it will run forever. What would you say about that?
Hi Marc, I am going to do a quick video on this to clarify this point, the water has to be lifted up then runs from upper bottle to lower bottle then stops. objects or liquids can't lift themselves.
I came across this looking for ideas for a birdbath/fountain that did not require electric or solar power. With that being said would this work with PVC pipes as tanks in a straight verticle set up with a shower head at the top, or would that mess up the flow? Also with it also being a birdbath with the increased amount of water, other than evaporation would I need to fill it often?
Hi Tony, My mistake on posting this video is not showing the length of time that the water flows. the fountain will only flow as long as it takes for the top water supply to drain down to the lower bottle. We are talking about up to 10 minutes, which means that you would have to constantly be switching the bottles around. I'd like to have the same thing, since birds are attracted to the sound of splashing water and we have enough trees that solar panel is not a good option.
@@YeanyScience Thank you for that information I looked up other ideas and seen your video on a fountain in a bottle and thought about combining the two setups but came to the conclusion it would not work due to air pressure not being correct. So now I am working on a ram pump design for this purpose If I come up with something I will for sure let you know.
Water tables and filtered water. Batteries and fountain. Imagine each bottle a tree. Now try to imagine the trees are just Stumps... The stumps are our mountains . Waterfalls our the fountains of life/youth. Charged water. If you like this idea i made videos as well.
I wonder if you could some how rig it up to where you can have both fountain and a refiller so that it work itself to keep the water in a constant stream without the need for water pumps
Not water as water conducts electric potential. The only thing utterly harmless to electronics would be mineral oil, and you would need significantly thicker inner diameter for the tubing. Still, yes.,The setup of a liquid cooled pc is feasible a and even commonplace for artists or people interested in higher computer power. Cool trick is having a fish tank of mineral oil sealed airtight in a fish tank to give the illusion a sunken computer tower.
Very impress to see this demonstration. I have two 40-gallon reservoirs with 2.2m difference high level, so is it available to apply this and what should I use the tube size ?
Hi Glenn, back in June I had knee replacements on both knees, it was a struggle for a while but I've worked hard the last several months to recover. It has been worth it, I feel 20 years younger, well maybe 10 years.
@@YeanyScience sorry for the late reply but I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm happy to see new videos on your channel too. I wish I had had a teacher like you when I was in school.

It is continuous in the sense it continuously flows without any external forces. Place it outdoors and it will operate will almost no human effort as rain will refill any lost water from evaporation etc. Even in colder climates the water can free and as soon as it melts it will start back up as long the water level is sufficient.
@@seanregehr4921 Wrong. The "external force" is gravity. The water had to be lifted to the upper container in order for this action to begin. That is applied potential energy.. Once the upper container is empty, there is no longer potential energy available. The idea that rain filling the upper container is adding energy. The point is, this is no more perpetual motion than is the water cycle .... evaporation...condensation...precipitation. It requires energy from the sun to work.
@@timhallas4275 - I guess you missed the explanation of how this works. Pressure raises the water and is the auto-balancing mechanism. All that is needed to maintain this function is the correct water level. The water cycle is perpetual motion.
@@seanregehr4921 I explained all, of that to you, and yet you make the same silly claim. I ask you this. If the sun is not involved, will it still rain?
Muy bueno que corra el agua sin bombas..... Pero tengo una pregunta..... Me gustaria hacer lo mismo pero para un bebedero de gallinas.... El bebedero se compone de 1garrafa de 80L con una manguera que va a un tubo de pvc, que dentro del tubo tiene una bolla que segun se va gastando el agua se va llenando este mismo tubo esta abierto para k puedan beber las gallinas.... Mi pregunta es si yo pongo al final del bebedero una manguera hacia la garrafa de 80L haria lo mismo que lo que as iventado tuuuu con las garrafas espero su respuesta lo antes posible gracias y un saludo
I'm feeding the birds in my garden and providing water for them. However, the water is often contaminated with debris, making it dirty. I appreciate the suggestion and will work on implementing this idea to keep the water consistently clean. Thank you!
Bruce if we make this system on a massive scale, essentially fitting it with the size of water stream that can propel a dynamo (the ones that are used in a water reservoir, in principal we can have 'free' energy.
I understand there's a time when the fountain will stop but I am wondering if the flow could be started and stoped by plugging / pinching the end of the top fountain section? This would make a great hand free camp sink / shower system or a children's toy kitchen sink. Surprised the concept it is not used more in our everyday lives / products.
A valve could be placed in the fountain neck, but used/dirty water must be directed to the lower bottle, not just discharged. As a practical matter, just raise the source jug and put a valve on the drain to wash your hands & face.
does this mean that the whole flow stops? or it will just continue flowing whether the top or bottom bottle lowers or rises? I mean is the flow going to be an endless loop?
you just told and demonstrate the truth about a physic principle for which other people are telling infinite water fountain without electricity. Thank you for being one of good people to spread the truth.
it will continue until all the water flows from the top bottle to the bottom bottle, the time depends on the size of the fountain, setup shown lasts about 2 minutes. If I use the small hoses from the small unit and the large bottle it will last up to about 15 minutes
How about if the lower jag bottom is cut off or open, and submerge it just above a free source of impound pond to suction water and let excess water above as source of irrigation. Did you tried it so that concept of heron fountain can be useful for agriculture irrigation without using irrigation pump.
The smile on your face when it worked, was simply beautiful.
Thanks for your effort.

Great experiment! This could help for the huge project to make the world better. God bless you abundantly!
Love your video sir, but i think the water On the middle bottle would be empty and then waterfall becaming stop.
that is right, water flow to the bottom bottle just create air pressure to middle bottle and push water fountain, no water flow circulation

How long will the fountain run? Like will the pressure decrease after some time due to any external means.
It should run non stop
It will run until the water reservoir bottle fills completely with air.
@@PantherophisG that won't happen because the water coming out is going right back down to the bottom

Just hook up a hydro generator and get electricity for water.
Scale this up 100 times put genetator in front of flowing water and you can run half kv generator and produce electricity without burining fossil fuel
Good thinking with the 1/2 inch CPVC on the large setup! Great demonstration!
So this could not run indefinitely because the water will reach equilibrium and it will stop. I heard claims of this running forever
this is exactly what crossed my mind. in principal its violating the fundamental laws of physics
Very well video sir
great. now I have to pee
Hmmm... A pretty heron's fountain in a retirement facility bathroom as a decoration to help the juices flow... Great idea!

You should monetize your videos. Make some money on the side.
Dosn't the lower bottle run out of water and then you must refill and reprime it to start it up again?
