[iamlemony]

why does the water get sucked out of the pipe at the end? Is it just due to pressure difference?

Cheers

Looks like a micro Francis Turbine, once also build by Voith and Passavant... Good Solution, would provide more Power, if the draft tube would be conical to ensure a higher draft by the laval effect.

Because fpr the turbine, pressure isn't need, it's speed what the turbine propells.
