Firewinder – creating light with the wind
Sometimes it’s not the actual first application of a new technology or invention but the promise of things to come.
British inventor Tom Lawton’s new eco-invention called the Firewinder offers a glimpse of things yet to come. For now it’s a 100% wind-powered decorative outdoor light, but how will this invention inspire Tom or others in the future? The ability to capture and use sustainable and renewable resources is the foundation of the environmental movement of today. Inventions like Tom’s set the path for future.
