Neko_Ali:
Nothing. Those things are simple counterbalancing levers. During experimentation he touched other things similar and they didn't transform.

FunkyTuba:
The drinking bird uses a refrigerant inside a set of internal tubes to oscillate back and forth... in some ways it's a miniature heat pump, storing heat and releasing it as kinetic energy as the fluid moves back and forth.

Granted it's crazy inefficient (about 1/2 W of "evaporative heat flux" to give a kinetic output of 1/20000 W), but I think it might be just a bit on the other side of the complexity line.

Kugai:
There will be Pokin' Sticks

JimC:
I wonder if the town is in the pit because of hurricanes?

sitnspin:
Living in a pit during heavy rainfall would be a terrible idea.
