Firewinder: When the Wind Glows
Firewinder is a swirling corkscrew of LED lights that spins when the wind catches it, getting brighter the faster it turns. It’s as mesmerizing as when you wave a sparkler and your eyes can’t quite keep up, so you see glowing streaks in the air.
What’s it for? Well, to mesmerize you. But there’s a message, too. Here we are, at the bottom of an ocean of air (1 ton of it pressing down on each of us), buffeted by currents we can’t see, still just learning to tap the invisible energy roaring past us. Wind-triggered displays like Firewinder connect us with all of that.
Gorgeous as it is, Firewinder isn’t as directly useful as, say, Demakersvan’s Light Wind. But I can think of a few uses – for example, how about shrinking it down and adapting it for the spokes of bicycle wheels? There’s no way a driver will miss that coming.
In the meantime, it’s a calming novelty night-light with a deep eco-vibe. Give it a whirl.
