The Enigma box is a 3D rectangular prism. It has one big hole on top. After 470mL is pored in through the large hole the water rushes out through a tube on the bottom. Before it reaches the 470mL mark, it very slowly drips out the bottom.
I think the Enigma box works like a fish tank water vacuum. I don't remember what its called, but I know water sticks together so once it starts flowing it keeps on flowing until all the water is vacuumed out. With the tube you stick in the fish tank and it makes all the water run out through the tube. I think the Enigma box works something like this.
The Enigma box really uses a siphon. The water fills up until it reaches the top of the siphon. Then gravity pulls the water down the tube. Water sticks together so it pushes almost all the water out through the tube. That is how it works.
