Hello everybody. I am somewhat confused about how a siphon works. Attached is an image which will hopefully help me explain. In the top left corner of the image, a classic siphon is shown. My question is however directed at the second image. If i was attempting to siphon water over a fence from one swimming pool to another, and the pool reservoirs were equal in height. Would that hinder the process? Or would the siphon still work so long as the downward momentum of the water was greater than the uphill flow due to the downward section of the siphon tube being longer than the uphill section of the siphon tube?
