Firewinder Turns Wind Into Lights!


We know about electric lights powered by batteries or drawing energy from electricity produced from the fossil fuel or other alternate energy sources. We are also used to lights powered by solar powered batteries. However, perhaps for the first time we have come across a wind-powered light that does not require installation of a large wind turbine but it simply uses the wind blowing in the garden to power itself.

Firewinder is a decorative wind-powered light. It is designed to either hang from a fixture or be planted in a lawn. Firewinder uses the wind to create energy that, in turn, illuminates the Firewinder. As the wind gets faster it will spin the spiral faster and display more and more lights. Wind speeds as low as 3 mph is all that is required to get the Firewinder spinning and producing a light. It uses 14 bright LEDs for the illumination and is made mostly by recyclable materials.
Firewinder can be easily installed by simply hanging it from the branch of a tree in the garden or on the roof terrace, or it could be mounted on a post or a wall.
