The pressure from that flow, called the dynamic pressure, is introduced to one side of a diaphragm. (eaa.org)
Now if the other side of that diaphragm was closed off, the dynamic pressure would be working against the resistance of trying to compress the air on the closed side. (eaa.org)
Similarly, if one side of the diaphragm was closed off and the other side was exposed to the static air pressure, we'd have a diaphragm moving to compress or decompress the fixed volume of air. (eaa.org)
This indication (whether it's digital or analogue) comes from a comparison of the dynamic air pressure in the pitot line on one side of the diaphragm with the static pressure at whatever altitude we happen to be flying. (eaa.org)
If the static port is blocked, our dynamic pressure will be working against a resistance- a volume of air on the other side of the diaphragm that is somewhat compressible, especially if there are long runs of static line, but will nevertheless result in a higher static pressure than actual.
