The enigma box

The five skills of a good scientist are important. I had to use 4 of the five skills were important to this observation.I had to use my senses i had to predicted make a model.And finally had to infer. They came in handy.

The enigma box is a mystery to me. There are two holes, the big one on the top and the small one on the top. A tube was jutting out of the bottom. The experiment is, a person pours water in the top. No water comes out of it till250 ml.when it started dripping. Then at 400 ml. it started pouring.

I believe that inside the enigma box is a container on a point. When the water gets full enough it tips the container spilling the water. Were then the water goes into a funnel that leads into the tube. Like at water world with a huge cup that tips on the people. Just without the funnel.

My prediction was wrong. In the enigma box was one single tube when the tube filled up the air pressure kept it going. Until it filled up only a few drips of water came out. The enigma box was really based on air pressure. That is my observation.
