Скачать или смотреть Siphon Meaning In English

In a general context, a "siphon" can be both a noun and a verb, referring to a tube or pipe used to transfer a liquid from one container to another, typically by gravity. When used as a noun, a siphon is the device or apparatus consisting of a tube or hose with one end placed in a higher reservoir of liquid and the other end in a lower container. This arrangement allows the liquid to flow downhill, emptying the higher container into the lower one. As a verb, "to siphon" means to use this device to transfer liquid in this manner. Siphoning is commonly employed for various purposes, such as transferring fuel, liquids, or even aquarium water, and it relies on the principle of atmospheric pressure to move the liquid without the need for a pump.
