Oh, just a few holes in the bottom of the bottle, no need to cut the bottom off.
Me too! Yes, its all about creating an imbalance of forces (high resting water mass versus low resting one). Good idea to use the soda bottle, we have several walls of them in our garage Its hard to get rid of them...

My goal will now be to find an autonomous way of making the two cycles of air pushing water and then refilling again, like how I figured it out mechanically.
Hero's pump is definitely the way to go, I just need to modify it so that it can repeat.... Aha, valves will probably be the answer!
Cya later,
