An atomic siphon pumps water from a lower level to a higher one, while expending energy that is extracted from nuclei. An atomic kitchen tap sucks water from the water supply, also using nuclear energy. For this reason, these devices are called atomic. The existence of such devices in nature, which extract excess energy for their operation from water, is based on thousands of videos on YouTube. It was assumed that nuclear reactions occur in air bubbles that appear in water when the water pressure decreases. In this case, circulating light is responsible for nuclear reactions, the properties of which were determined when explaining the nature of ball lightning. This assumption was confirmed in 2024 after the publication of an article by researchers from Taiwan in an authoritative international journal, which reported that as a result of mass spectral analysis of water after cavitation, neon 22Ne and excess energy were found. It follows that water cavitation is accompanied by nuclear reactions with the release of excess energy. It is shown how in the above-mentioned devices, excess nuclear energy in the form of heat is ultimately converted either into an analogue of a compressor, which ensures the pumping of water in a siphon, or the suction of water, carried out by a water tap.
