  This is such a charming project! I’ve been quite taken for years by the “Christmas” decorations that spin using a candle.

  I quite like these more - mainly because they could be added onto a lamp that puts off heat, and be kind of a perpetual decoration with subtle motion.

  I love your “dad turbine” design, and the flying wing has some magical quality to it.

  Thank you so much for sharing!

  These look fun, I'm partial to the dad turbine. Too bad (for something like this) that basically none of my lamps produce much heat these days.

      Why would they be in luck? Did you read the article? Just because the efficiency floor is eliminated doesn’t mean production would or even could restart.
