New Firewinder Light Uses Wind Power

May 5, 2008 · Print This Article

Years ago, ‘green’ things were known for being pretty boring. I can recall sitting through a demonstration at a power plant on a third grade field trip, desperately wishing I was someplace else while someone in a hard hat lectured to us about turning off the lights. Most of America feels the same way about all of the eco-education that’s going on right now, and that’s part of the problem. Green stuff isn’t thought of us fun. That’s why people like the inventor of the Firewinder make me happy.

From Firewinder:

Firewinder® is The Original Windlight™ – A decorative, 100% wind-powered outdoor light which harnesses the power of the wind from whichever direction it blows, to create a simple yet magical visual effect with a universal appeal.

Easy to install, you simply hang it up from a tree in your garden, on your roof terrace or mount it to a post or wall and watch it light up and glow every time the wind blows!

Firewinder’s patent pending technology elegantly transforms wind into light to enable the visualisation of the abundantly free energy in the wind as a mesmerising, endlessly upward spiralling helix of light.

It is pretty cool looking. Things like this would be a great help toward getting the general public to buy ‘green’. There’s a perception that green isn’t pretty or exciting, and that’s proving more and more to simply not be true.

    I want one! It may only be a decorative toy but its powered by a renewable energy source which make it cool. Also its wind direction independent which is something you don’t see a lot of with wind powered stuff. What I really want is a giant one on top of my house.So cool.

    I love it when people get it too! Thanks for your blog post. You’re so right, to get the masses to even think about greener lifestyles (yet alone adopt them) we have to make green living appealing, aspirational and fun. The first Firewinder is only that start for us - so much good stuff to follow!
