Copper and silver, in contact, in water form a very, very weak battery, 
which would, I think, transfer silver to the copper, and release copper 
into the water.  I think the two metals have to be connected with a 
metalic connection out of the water too.  Am I right?  If so, that 
would explain why the device would work.
