I'm trying to learn more about siphons. We haven't learned much about them in school yet, however I've searched a bit on the web. So far, I know that the higher the level of the water, the more water pressure that will be exerted.
Here's the question: is it possible to rise the pressure WITHOUT changing the level of the water? So far, the only way that I have experimented with is changing the size of the tube on the receiving end of the water. This provided results, but I want to know if you can change the pressure by altering factors in the tank holding the water. (Again I want to keep the initial water level the same.)
Websites where I can find out more are helpful, but I prefer direct answers.
Sorry if this is hard to understand. I don't know much terminology on the subject.
