THE 1ST STAGE
THIS IS HOW THE INTERNAL OF THE THE MAXIMUM
PYTHAGORUS CUP IS DESIGNED.
HEIGHT
THE LINE DRAWN IS THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED
HEIGHT OF ANY LIQUID THAT CAN BE
POURED INSIDE
THE SECOND
STAGE
IN THIS STAGE, THE WATER IS FILLED
TO THE REQUIRED HEIGHT.

IN THIS STAGE NO AMOUNT OF THE

LIQUID FALLS THROUGH THE BASE
THE THIRD
STAGE
IN THIS STAGE, THE LIQUID IS FILLED IN
THE EXCEES HEIGHT. SO WATER IN THE
PIPE CROSSES THE TURN AND FALLS
DUE TO GRAVITY.

THIS CREATES A LOW PRESSURE INSIDE

THE TUBE

AS AIR CANNOT FILL IT UP, THE LIQUID

RUSHES IN TO FILL THE AREA.

THIS PROCCESS COUNTINUES TILL

THERE IS NO LIQUID PRESSENT IN THE
GLASS AND AIR FILLS THE AREA
