Wind powered light

Wind3
Dutch design house Demakersvan created a very clever wind powered outdoor lamp —

An outside lamp drawn from our home surroundings. The gently sweeping Dutch windmills were actually perfect generators of their own. With that in mind, we made this lamp. With every breeze it stores energy, enough to enjoy every summerevening untill forever. Contemporary vs traditional, art vs functionality. Shaped by its function the big prop spans over one meter on each side. It is a self supporting light source that marks the landscape.

    Panasonic has something similar, although they use a savonius turbine instead of the cute propeller.
