    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.

    Do people still use incandescent bulbs in America?

      Looks like they were only (generally) outlawed for sale in 2023. Though some states were ahead of that.

      They last a long time, though, and I imagine a lot of people are still using their existing bulbs. I can't imagine doing that in CA, where our electricity is expensive, but if you're paying 6c/kWh, I suppose, may as well?
