Simple device induces small flow of liquid without help of moving parts, in presence or absence of gravity. Drops of liquid move on filaments from wide end of cone to narrow end. Gradually blend with drops on adjacent filaments to form large drops with menisci. Important use expected to be returning liquid condensate in heat pipes, and collection of samples from clouds or fog.
