Diagram of a functioning Heron's fountain. Simplified Heron's fountain principle. In the following description, call the 3 containers: (A) Top: basin. (B) Middle: water supply. (C) Bottom: air supply. And three pipes: P1 (on the left in the picture) from a hole in the bottom of basin (A) to the bottom of air supply container (C)
Heron’s fountain is a hydraulic machine that demonstrates the principles of hydraulics and pneumatics. Flow of water from high gravitational potential energy to low gravitational potential energy causes a fountain to form, due to increasing pressure on the inside of the system.
