I came across this experiment where two flowing streams of water, each falling through a can/inductor and finally falling into a bucket (metallic) creates a huge electrical potential difference! Ok I know that the falling water droplets have to acquire electrical charges, but I just can't figure out HOW IT HAPPENS! Can anybody please explain it to me? Here's a link to the experiment:

Ok and one more thing, so does that really mean that gravitational potential is being converted to electric potential here?
