Displacer Kitten blinks Aether Channeler every time a noncreature spell resolves; Aether Channeler's ETB bounces Sol Ring or Mana Vault back to hand, where it gets recast for free or one mana respectively and restarts the loop. Each cycle nets positive colorless mana — Sol Ring costs 0 and returns 2, Mana Vault costs 1 and returns 3 — making this a clean infinite engine in Urza, Lord High Artificer or Shorikai, Genesis Engine shells that already want both mana rocks.

Result

Infinite colorless mana; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Jeweled Lotus substitutes for either rock as the cost-positive piece if one is removed, and any 0-cost artifact like Mox Amber or Lotus Petal can seed the bounce chain. The loop produces infinite colorless but not blue, so pair it with Thassa's Oracle or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries as the dedicated closer rather than relying on blue mana-dependent payoffs.
