- TL;DR Summary
- I'm trying to create a dinghy rib automatic start syphon system, to drain the water out of dingy every time it rains, Kindly do not post any alternative systems that require a power supply other than free power i.e. wind or wave.
The theory is that that the trapped air in pipe A would create enough pressure to raise the water 600 mm in pipe C,
Design and parts: 32 mm x 1 metre pipe (A) running from the stern floor (open end) forward with the front end raised 100 mm, then turned 360 deg and reduced to 10 mm (pipe B) back to the stern floor alongside pipe A,
At the stern end of pipe B fit a T 10 mm connecter with a foot valve and another 10 mm pipe rising vertically for 600 mm (pipe C) over the transom and continuing down for 800 mm with the tide out,
The water level is always slightly higher inside when it rains than sea level, but the difference would be considerable different when the tide goes out.
Question 1:
How much pressure would a 32mm x 1m pipe with one end blanked of (top) submerged in water create?
Question 2:
How much pressure would it take to push water up a 10mm x 600mm pipe?.
