How can a mechanism regulate flow and eliminate gas buildup in a syphon system?

[brad miley]

How did you find PF?

I found PF when doing a search for information as to why a syphon system I was developing was forming a gas bubble in the tube.

Several years ago I found your thread (now inactive) called "How can I get rid of air buildup in a syphon system". I am not a physicist, I am a tool and die maker and it really helped me get a better understanding of the problem and confirm what I was seeing. Since then, I have developed a mechanism that regulates the flow and deals with the gas build up problem.
I'm looking forward to more discussions!
