  2. Suction cup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_cup

    The working face of the suction cup is made of elastic, flexible material and has a curved surface. [3] When the center of the suction cup is pressed against a flat, non-porous surface, the volume of the space between the suction cup and the flat surface is reduced, which causes the air or water between the cup and the surface to be expelled past the rim of the circular cup.

  3. Plunger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plunger

    For the common plunger, the cup is pushed down against the drain opening, either pressing hard into the drain to force air in or pushing down until the rubber cup is flattened. The cup is then pulled out, creating a vacuum to pull blockage material upward and dislodge waste or other material.

  4. Self-sealing suction cup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_suction_cup

    Inside the self-sealing suction cup, the plug is positioned close to the tube opening so that it can get sucked into the tube seal the hole when the central suction line is powered. A pair of springs connected to the suction cup's base helps maintain the plug's position, restoring the plug seal in the absence of object forces.

  5. Multiple-vortex tornado - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-vortex_tornado

    A multiple-vortex tornado is a tornado that contains several vortices (called subvortices or suction vortices) revolving around, inside of, and as part of the main vortex. The only times multiple vortices may be visible are when the tornado is first forming or when condensation and debris are balanced such that subvortices are apparent without ...

  6. Nano-suction technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano-suction_technology

    Nano-suction is a technology that uses vacuum, negative fluid pressure and millions of nano-sized suction cups to securely adhere any object to a flat non-porous surface. When the nano-suction object is pressed against a flat surface, millions of miniature suction cups create a large vacuum, generating a strong suction force that can hold a ...

  8. Siphon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon

    Siphon principle In the flying-droplet siphon, surface tension pulls the stream of liquid into separate droplets inside of a sealed air-filled chamber, preventing the liquid going down from having contact with the liquid going up, and thereby preventing liquid tensile strength from pulling the liquid up.
