How much air pressure is needed to push water up a column?
Kk, Thanks for your help on this. Glad to have a solid answer saying it's not going to work the way I'm thinking. Was really hoping I could use this to move water up, but I suppose I'll have to find another method.Thanks again and stay warm out there!- Tsol

Hello and thank you for your reply. I understand you are stating that the water will be at the same height on both sides no matter what the pressure is inside the airtight container. I would have thought that the water (on the right) would have more force and push/compress the air so that it...- Tsol

How much air pressure is needed to push water up a column?
Hello, I was creating a device to move water up a tube using air pressure, but I am not certain how much pressure I would need. I attempted to create it using 5 gallon buckets, however I was unable to apply the needed pressure needed to the airtight container. The image below is what I have...- Tsol
