Fluid Dynamics Fish Tank

Pipeline Aquarium 01

One of a kind fish tank design that defies the laws of gravity. The pull of gravity would have made it very difficult for the water to stay up and overflown the tank. It would also be a nightmare to clean up those clear pipes when the water gets bleaker. Well the fish does seem to be happier with their bigger space though.

Check out the unique fish tank design with 6 more pics after the jump.

      It works because the tanks are sealed. If the tanks were not sealed the water would just flow out because of all the water pressure from above.

      just to clarify the air you see in one of the pictures is most likely also pressurized to equal that of the force of the water above it

      Air pressure pushing down on the water in the tank is greater than the pressure that the water in the system exerts back.

      It work by vacuum not pressure. As long as both ends of the tube are under water air will not get in, therefor making it a sealed system. The tanks are not sealed at all. Try it yourself with a tube and 2 cups of water, you’ll see. As long as there is no air AT ALL in the tube, it will stay full.

      Basically, so long as there’s no air in the overhead, simple vacuum will keep the water in the overhead. And since water does not compress or expand based on pressure, the fish experience no discomfort when using it.

      But here’s the trick, see?

      If air gets into the overhead in sufficient quantities, the seal will be broken. If the air is coming in via the ends, you’ll be able to keep it working for a little while. But air DOES expand and contract in relation to pressure, and if enough gets in, the weight of the water will start to pull the intruded air into expanding sufficiently to overcome the vacuum, and then WHOOSH!

      Filling that thing must be a bear.

      And if you get so much as a pinhole in the top, you’ll be absolutely astounded at just how fast that thing empties.
