Glowing LED wind turbine

If you’re one of those people, sorry, I mean that one person, who can’t live without having glowing LEDs in the garden, the product is finally available which will make the obsession environmentally friendly.

Whilst most wind turbines store the energy for use in something useful, this will take the energy from the kinetic movement of the blades, and convert it into power to make the red and blue LED bulbs glow.

I’ve sat here now for seven and a half minutes, and I can’t think of a single time where that would be useful. But as a silver lining, at least it’s kind to polar bears in its uselessness.
