    I think this is basically how a check valve works. (while looking up the english word for it I actually found a check valve that works with a ball)

    Notice how he put the knot there, so the ball makes the bottle sink and fill up faster. A legit genius right there

    He could have holes in the top. Needs more air yo come out to fill up faster

    I think he does, or the bottle wouldn't fill up at all. Looks like tiny holes in the bottom, to me.

    Well there's the hole where the string goes though, so it'll fill up regardless

    The hole around the rope doesn't exactly look air tight, so there is at least one hole up there

    You managed to create a combination of words that only has a single google result (frulinkus device). Well done!

    Lemme be the second spoilsport! Google takes a week or more to index a new page/update to a page(like a reddit comment). I could never have been the second result in such a short time!

    fr, it took until the ottoman to invent bottle caps, and only mansa musa wa able to create the plastic bottle industry which is what made him so rich he was worth like 1000$ (about 800 000 000 000$ in today's dollars)

    Actually it was discovered in stone age when someone found plastic scraps near the oceans

    And it only took 10000 years from the discovery of plastic, to humans learning they could melt it to make bottles.

    If you replace the wire by a hose, you probably would have a real fast siphon there.

    parent
    2 points Zephian99

    But if you could use a hose why would you use this method? 🤔

    (Genuinely curious, thinking mechanically how that would be practical to use a hose and this system together?)
