Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Have you ever heard of a siphon?

It might seem like a skill—or even a secret technique—that’s been lost on the younger generation, but us old-timers know the deal!

I decided to give that a try this time lol

Do all the young people at your company know this?

Try it out at work.

Have you heard of the “siphon principle”? It’s a principle that allows liquids to be moved without using any power, using hoses or similar tubes. A common example of this is the kerosene pump. We tried to see if this advantage—the lack of need for power—could be put to use during disasters, so here are a few examples. pic.twitter.com/04YRhiQiax

I just happened to have an "X" from the Metropolitan Police Department, lol

Back in the day, when there were no pumps, we used a siphon to fill the machines with diesel or gasoline from portable cans.

To drain the water from the tank, you start the pump, and once water starts flowing, you turn off the engine and just let it drain on its own.

I put a submersible pump in a water tank to use it, and later found that the tank was empty.

It's all based on the principle of the siphon.

I'm sure many of you already know this, but since there are a lot of young people these days who don't, please give it a try.

There's a big difference in the experience you gain depending on whether you do it or not.

It'll come in handy when you need it!

See you later.
