Self Siphoning Water

isn't a source of vacuum an outside source of power?
you want something that will cause water to run up hill.
out side of a pump which takes power i think your out of luck.
but if you think the size of the hose will have an effect it should be cheap and quick to splice two differant size hoses together
and try it with a couple buckets of water.
or have i completely misunderstood?

  Fritz,
The way I would be trying it at first, is to find out how much vacuum the static head for the inlet needs.
And then I would find out how much vacuum the discharge can create. If the discharge can create more vacuum, that would be the source.
If not, then it would not work. A vacuum gauge with pump costs $30. With something like this, no guessing would be needed. Different sizes of tubing or pipe could be tested.
By having a reservoir on top, it nicely seperates the inlet and discharge. This would create a nice visual effect.

i still like my idea, some tape and a couple of pieces of scrap poly pipe would show proof of concept in 20 minutes of work.
as for the vacuum you need thats going to depend on the hieght. but why not do what many people do and just fill the unit with water and cover the ends of the hose till its all in position.
that works well for a single siphon.
but what do i know.
