- How to start a large siphon using 2" PVC tubing that can transfer 50-100 gallons per minute depending on height of water level. This can work with much larger diameter pipe or tubing but requires valves for tube filling.
Dan, that is absolutely Brilliant! As always, you show how a simple, well thought out solution can be employed to make things better.
Very cool, my Brother! Thanks for the upload.
Awesome! I'm going to go siphon my neighbor's pool into his basement lol
Use a sump pump .
🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

thanks Dan. I used the hose method when my washing machine broke to get out all the water.
This was very helpful! There is a sinkhole on my grandfathers land in Jamaica that filled with water and needs to be drained. I was looking for a way to drain it without having to carry equipment requiring electricity and batteries..This is ideal 👍🏽. Thank you.
yeah, we did that on a rainy summer with some giant's cauldrons or potholes filled to the rim with water on a little mountain with a 20m garden hose when we were about 10 years old at or summer resort. I hadn't heard of this before then and the difference in level of 20m was spectacular hahaha! Those were the days, summer adventures from June to August! :D
Oh hai fellow brony
This comment made me happy :)
Thanks for the tip. This will definitely save me time as I make the half tank water changes in my 110 gal. pond every week. It's usually a short workout using the hand pump.
I have a blocked drain and after watching this, I will be able to clear the water and get a solution to unblock it. Thank you
New to your channel. Part of my property is border line flood area. I have high area. This would be a good place to get rid of the excess water. I was thinking of using some 1/2 inch hose. Your method is very straight forward .Really like that massive amount of water being moved by just law laws of physics. They never lie.
Hey Dan, I really enjoyed the short and sweet video. I will use that technique in the future, thanks.
dan I liked the quick video and the wide PVC helps demonstrate better flow and how a wider device needs sealing at both ends to move the output from source to destination sometimes
I did something like this in earth science. We were messing around with the stream table (erosion demonstration) and sand had collected in the bottom resivoir, no one knew how to remove the water and sand without a pump. After thinking about it I suggested siphoning it out. No one wanted to suck the water up through the tube so I took the hose, filled it up at the sink and proceeded to siphon the sandy water out of the resivoir. My teacher was impressed.
G'day,
Yay Team !
I love that there-all Background Clutter you have going on...; the true mark of a Hoarder at the peak of Collectivity...!
Great Syphon, too, by the way...
;-p
Ciao !
I've done something similar at work where we have a drink dispenser/juice machine. The trap in that doesn't drain. So, if it gets filled up with watered down juices, I submerge a part from an air coffee pot in water, carry it out to the machine with a pitcher, stick one end into the trap, then let it siphon out the excess liquid. Which makes it MUCH easier to carry it to the kitchen to empty out.. Instead of having to walk with it so slow and easily so you don't spill anything along the way.
Used to do this kind of thing with my waterbath in the lab. We had this huge 1 inch diameter surgical tube. I could drain the water bath in a fraction of the time it took the built in drain to do. Still needed that drain to finish it off, but boy it was great. It also let me pull out any small bits of algae that were floating in the water.
Real physics. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome technique
That's genius! Thanks for sharing! _EDIT: I was thinking that if you could twist the outer pipe you won't need the gloves_ .
Awesome! Thanks for posting.... I've been looking at ram pumps or pumps with no moving parts but this is so simple!
Ill try this with my pond. Thanks for the video!
That's amazing, thanks for the great idea definitely going to try it
So for anyone who missed the point:
Fill tube, lower exit/output of tube below entrance/source, then let go
The wider the tube the more flow. Lower the output end of the tube/hose even lower and raise the input/source end of the tube to let gravity help even more.
For example, if you are trying to drain an above ground pool or even below ground, once all of the air is removed from the tube/hose you will get faster flow if the output end of the hose is 20ft lower in height from its input end than if the output end if only 5ft lower than the input.
I am trying to drain out water from a flooded garden to the main water course which is about a foot higher. Can a syphon work, if yes how please?
When you took the rubber gloves, I honestly though you were going to wear them
I don't have fish anymore but this video would have saved me the trouble of getting fish water in my mouth.
What?
@@JuanMarquezVerified I had a pretty big fish tank. To drain it, I used a rubber hose. Suck hard to give the water some momentum and make sure the container it's draining into is lower than the tank. Basically how people would siphon gas out of cars back in the day
Awesome. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Dan this is simple and effective thanks
Been missing you.
Ridiculously sweet.
Thanks for the great video Dan!
FANTASTIC! Thanks Dan!
Unlimited energy👁👄👁
Put it in lake, make a little dam, have a fan or multiple of them to spin a turbine so water weight makes turbine turn around forever and ever. Genius
Awesome simplicity.
A slightly simpler method, would be to use the hose from a vacuum cleaner.
I love the gloves method for dramatic effect!
That's pretty cool, but I what if I need a giga-siphon?
It only works for "mega" and "tera"….:-}
You need a pipeline...
use bigger pipes or am i missing a factor????
GREENPOWERSCIENCE Terrorsiphen; when the megasiphen makes a mess inside :)
Add some piranhas and you can definitely compete with Sharknados...
Just... WOW! Simple as that! Gawd I love you.
My crawl space is flooded (failed sump I guess) and frozen.. was thinking I could do something like this to more easily siphon the entire crawlspace out when it thaws. It's like 3-4 feet deep of water. I would need the exit to be lower than the entrance for this to work?
I have two ug sumps 18 feet apart. I am not able to syphon by 32 mm dia pipe.What is the size of pipe for best results.
Dan, that's a nice little Zika mosquito farm you got going there :)
No larvae in there. The tadpoles eat them and 5 of the containers using a Torricelli Vacuum trick the larvae to go up, seeking surface air. They only get glass (no air gap), keep trying then drown. Tadpoles swim in, eat algae and swim out. I have one vessel with the bottom opened and an air gap. All the larvae hang out there, develop into mosquitoes and get trapped in the air lock. After 3-5 days, the new mosquitoes die and become tadpole food. I will have a video for a stagnant water container that encourages mosquitoes to place their larvae in a cozy vase of water. When the larvae swim up the nice dark chamber to avoid direct sunlight, the swim right into 180˚ F water. This trap kills thousands of larvae in a season. Keeps them from reproducing in ditches where you have no control. Still have the fans going because swamps are all around us. On my FB page I posted a 5,000 mosquito kill in one night. I cleaned our area but a storm came and blew in thousands of more mosquitoes which are currently stuck to the back of our 4 large fans:-) I hate mosquitoes and kill over 100,000 a year. Pointless fight but it makes our 3 acres less miserable in the summer. Videos on all this this week. Here is the fan video that inspired many similar YT videos:

That's awesome Dan. Sounds like you're all over it. Kudos!
I'm trying to set up a gravity dredge for gold , you make it look easy
That was cool! I have a pointless request. Could you siphon a bunch of molasses using a mega-siphon?
Totally using this for my build! Thanks
Thank you for the nice comment! Good to hear it was useful.
You ROCK as always!
Great! Simple! Effective! Easy! What more can you ask for?
If only DIY Emperor King Joey could be this succinct and less self-aggrandizing in his videos.
Great! Just the tip I needed.
I've seen farm hands starting 3 and 4 inch tubes kind of like that. Submerge, cover one end then lift over the edge. Tough job for sure when you have hundreds to start in a hurry.
Mind. Blown!!
Dan. How is the fish farm coming along? I was hoping for an update.
Me too. A neat place, would like to see more.
Hi Daniel,
We currently have it listed for sale and still restoring in spare time. Someone made a decent offer but was planning on leveling it so we said no. Second time we have turned down an offer for development. Hoping to get someone there who would use it for what it was made for. I know just about everything will become buildings and living complexes in the future.
Hi good day. I want to syphone water from a drain to an area that's a little bit higher than the water level? Can this be done?
Great U-Tube tutorial!
GREAT video!
very cool. helped me empty my horse's water tank easier.
Good one Mike
But what if my pipe is to long to fully go under water?
I used 1/4" line to siphon 40 weight oil out of the gearbox on my old Saab lol... it was so thick and it moved so slow it was incredible to watch, The transmission held about 2 quarts and I emptied 1 1/2 siphoning the oil out. Took like 10 minutes though it was sooo slow.
Oil is slow, I had an old piece of equipment with a frozen and stripped drain plug. Same results you got.
So this just goes non stop forever?
Does 90° elbow causes more pressure drop than circular bend?
Fantasimo! Just wondering how much head you can achieve with this method ?. Like up hill from Creek to a dam etc. Cheers
How did he not pull up his sleeves?!?
That’s really cool 😎
Do you know the limits of an automatic or bell siphon? Can the automatic siphon work with a tube that large?
Yes. A siphon is not just the ATM pressure pushing the water into the lower reservoir. It majorly uses a vacum and gravity to pull the water out. The more water in the tube, the more power it has to pull the upper reservoir water. It is all perfectly proportional.
Gee, this looks, superb, I'm going to try it. Wanting to empty 25000L pool and the garden hose just won't do it.
This is pretty cool. But that back yard looks like it's getting to pre-hoarder levels.
well played sir.
That tank looks alot like Mario Rojas Sr's fish-a-rama tank. Are you related to Mario and Rosemary?
Inverted siphon
Bell siphon
Siphon
Herons fountain
Are you able to make equation for each
And by comparison we got the maximum free energy
By combining all the equation we got that limit of free energy which can be used for making electricity by running a turbine
could you put a tip on the end of the siphon to create laminar flow and shoot the water back into the pool creating an infinite loop? Then you could add a waterwheel and BOOM free energy for everyone..Dan saves the world.
You would have something similar to a Heron's Fountain:
ua-cam.com/video/92rSXLPupKw/v-deo.html
The energy required to send water up is borrowed by the flow of the siphon/displacement. Once the lower chamber is filled, the process stops. Only works if the lower vessel is sealed. A waterwheel one the siphon directly would be more efficient but you would need an unlimited source of water. The energy required to lift the water siphoned out back into the elevated tank will always be more than what you get out. A water flow to a lower tank/chamber and retired to stye elevated source alone running infinite would amazing, but, as far as I know, it cannot work. Rain does it but that uses renewable energy.
Me and my sister used like a 10-15 meter hose to fill the base of my boxing bag. We put the hose into our back up water tank ( we are on tank water) and i sucked some water out and then got my sister to rase the hose up and down for about 1 minute befor it started pumping on its own
You don't need gloves, I think if you just held your fingers over each end, the key is to keep the water in the pipe at the longer end (exit) and don't raise the source end of the PVC above water
in what project did algae used to? thanks
Algae can be used for food sources and fuel production. While I am personally not working on the production part, I am seeking methods of rapid growth for large scale production applications. Currently testing some unique approaches.
will be waiting to those video release, sir
THAT'S FREE ENERGY!!!!
perpetual motion up and down in a triangle. clouds
Wow so you siphoned with a bigger wider tube, amazing who would have thought
I wanna build on for my stock tank so it doesn't freeze over
Awesome! Thank you.
Thats awesome.
im using 5 siphons on my pond 1 x 140mm, 4 x 80mm
Do you live in a junkyard?
smart move
Awesome
Clever!
clever trick!
Genius
Nice
I'm going to use this on a dam. Thanks.
thanks!
Well now he's going to have to use the same trick to empty out the tote...!!
Dope
Super...
I want to with a 4 inch Pipe.
smart
Where the hell do you live? 1😬
Muito bom!
Thanks , Now I have to Piss. ha ha ha
"Let gravity do its thing"
Thats not how this works, thats not how any of this works
Well the pressure in the tube(the water falling on the other end) that let's the water flowing initially is created by gravitational pull, is it not? Only after that event, water pressure takes over and keeps it flowing.
@@Scrungge Yep you are correct
@@Scrungge Nothing to do with gravity and everything to do with pressure (of course gravity affects all things at all times but is not relevant in this case)
@@BlackBirds93 So why does it only work when the exit is lower than the entrance?
i need a pool
gravity syphon
For dramatic effect 😂
