leaking waterwheel

Lorenz systems are like waterwheel {leaking waterwheel} with leaking buckets that receive more water regularly.

low flow

Adding small drops slowly does not move waterwheel, because buckets leak equal or more water than they receive. Force is not enough to overcome frictional force.

high flow

With bigger drops or higher dripping rate, waterwheel turns steadily. With even bigger drops or even higher rate, waterwheel eventually spins so fast that buckets do not get as much water and buckets do not lose as much water each turn. Then waterwheel slows non-linearly. Spin can reverse.
