The Hero Fountain is powered by the kinetic molecular theory. Initially all pressures in all bottles are equal. However, when the drain bottle is lowered below the source bottle the pressure in the drain bottle is increased. This is due to the fact that water from the fountain head and source bottle are now able to flow down into the drain. The added water decreases the available volume for the air to occupy inside the drain bottle. This decrease in volume increases the pressure. The increased pressure pushes water out of the drain bottle, up through the hose and out through the fountain head.
