Siphons are tubes connecting from a higher reservoir to a lower reservoir. It is powered by hydrostatic pressure which is "the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity". To use a small scale siphon, you must suck on the bottom end until the water comes out. Because of equilibrium, the siphon will keep flowing.
