Firewinder: sparkly windpowered decorations
We like Shiny things around here, and all the better if they don't create any noxious gases to do their 'thing'.
The Firewinder ticks all boxes: taking the virtues of a spiralling, pretty wind chime or lantern, it harnesses the power of the wind to provide a sparkling glow for your garden. Simply attach it to a tree, roof terrace or wall using its hanging kit and wait for the wind to blow. The stronger the wind, the faster the spin and the greater the intensity of the light. I can see this going down a storm at small festivals and campsites this summer (but don't take that too literally, as using it in a real storm would not be good for your new toy, even though it can withstand strong winds of up to 40mph!)

I've seen these things in the flesh and in a word they are awesome. They work brilliantly when you've got anything more than a breath of wind, completely silent and even with ambient background lighting they look stunning. Mine's on order...
