The analogy presented is fairly accurate and easy to understand. GGGGGP talks about loops of inverters and continuous refreshing, the latter of which is invented terminology.

- Dylan16807 8y agoThe analogy is an okay description of part of what happens, but not why. It also gives a pretty misleading idea of what happens to the voltages. It would be much better if it was combined with a simple explanation of how the inverters actually behave, which would only take a few words. This is why the previous post mentioned them and said to check the wikipedia page.
