I belive that device works through charging by induction, stray static charge gets it started, when one drop of water becomes charged and lands int the left hand bucket, the left hand bucket is conected to the right hand 'ring' which induces a charge of opposite polarity on the opposite drops, which in turn induces charge on the other side etc, Jesse
