Physics in the House  20: The Siphon - playing close attention to its use in our WCs
Channel: Bob Newport
Date: 2020-06-03

The twentieth in a series of short talks in which I'll try, with the minimum of mathematics, to show how everyday items and processes in the home point the way to important aspects of physics. 

This project is primarily aimed at the lovely members of Canterbury's U3A branch: we might not be able to gather together to learn during the current pandemic, but that shouldn't stop us trying. I will attempt to augment these (extremely amateur) videos with posts on my blog (https://bobreflected.blogspot.com/), but there is likely to be a delay as such things take a little time. I'll certainly keep updated a 'Physics in the House' blog post to act as a Contents Page for the videos: https://bobreflected.blogspot.com/2020/04/physics-in-house.html
