I forgot to put these in last post, but I thought I'd put the seperatley.
The Bell Siphon:
The Bell Siphon:
The bell siphon is an old fashoned way of flushing, it works by lifting the bell up letting water into the tube and down the pipe which creates a siphon in the cistern.
The modern siphon:
This is the inside of a modern siphon, it works in a similar way. When the handle is pushed down it forces water up and round the bend pulling water in from the cistern creating a siphon.
That cistern is a very cheap plasticy one. Very noisy when they refill aswell.
Here's one in a wood cistern, it's made of metal and would work in a similar way.
Sorry I couldn't get these up, I've been having problems.

Wonderful cisterns,I really like them.It's a pity I don't have to chance to flush them.
To get a "feel" of the flushing and to find out how powerful is the pressure.
I wish I could flush another, they are very powerful and loud.
They feel slighty different to other cisterns, probably due to how heavy the bell is.
As a toilet connoisor perhaps you would like to see http://wcinternational.blogspot.com/
I just discovered your blog and will read it from now on. Very interesting posts, I'll link your page on my blog if you don't mind.

P.S. Perhaps we should create a worldwide toiletological network with Marco, Dany and other enthousiasts.
Thanks, I've just linked to yours. You have a lot of toilets on there. :)
A toilet website with all us working on it? That sounds good, we'll have to plan it out between us all.
What is a siphon james?
