Approximating the Lorenz attractor with a chaotic leaky water wheel. The orange dot is the centre of mass of the water. It traces (a projection of) the familiar attractor as the wheel spins seemingly randomly left and right.

I don't know anything about the lorenz attractor other than it's cool math that makes cool visualizations, from stuff like electric sheep screensaver. How does this actually work? I assumed there was an "attractive" force in the middle but this is based on gravity? What is the underlying pattern?
