Firewinder: A Wind-Powered Outdoor Light


British inventor Tom Lawton came up with this nice looking Firewinder

Its a vertical axis wind turbine with 14 LEDs on its sides. Its designed to harness the wind energy in every direction the Firewinder is placed in.

The LEDs light-up at 3 mph wind (light breeze) and intensifies as wind speed increases. Firewinder creates an upward spiralling light which could produce a hypnotic effect. Its made completely from recyclable material.

The Firewinder is available now for pre-order for £99.
