Aubrey Koh creates a water fountain within a bottle. As water flows out from the drainage straw when the bottle is inverted, a lower pressure environment is created within the bottle. The higher atmospheric pressure outside will push the surface of the coloured water resulting in the liquid to be pushed into the fountain straw.

  • @cris23dumi only in theory....what you are describing is perpetual motion. not gonna happen. the water that is flowing from the bottle is what draws the water from the upper container. there would be nothing to draw the water back up to the top container from the lower container. i like where your mind is at though. keep thinking along those lines. that is where our scientists come from and we need more. never stop thinking. see ya.

  • Where is the magic part?

  • and i like the ideea from heros fountain with air pressure tube very much cause it doesnt matter how long u can make the tube :)

  • im thinking of covering the 2 containers here but the low pressure in the bottle could put the system on hold but it should also help cause i wanna put a straw between the 2 containers the lower one to put water in the upper one and it should work in theory

  • but if ure lowering the bottle that has water hero's fountain will not work anymore :D its potential energy in that system and im affraid its the same here we just dont see it

  • @s0werjuice hero's fountain its no good for something like that cause atmospheric pressure its not aloud in the container

  • @s0werjuice it may work but its kinda too good to be true u know? :D

  • @s0werjuice you know what!? i beleve ure right it shouldnt matter that the drain is 2 cm or 2 meters long. im asking cause if u put a autosiphon in a drain cantainer u could get a "neverending story"

  • if u put the containers the other way around the empty one higher i mean will it still work ? :D

  • you are a genius! simply a brilliant idea!!! and its quite simple =)))
