OVERVIEW
In this Project, we will learn to make a Greedy Cup with Paper Cups and Straw.
The Pythagorean cup or “greedy” cup is a specially designed cup that will empty its contents once filled to a certain point. As water is poured into the cup, it rises up through the central column. Once it reaches the top of the straw inside of the large central column, a siphon will form.
