Still uniquely hand-blown today at a family-owned factory in Czech Republic. Albert Einstein is said to have encountered an identical sort of bird and was puzzled by its action (see Wikipedia). Purchased from the friendly and excellent USA dealer, Lada's Finds, at http://myworld.ebay.com/lh20060/ It's the smallest size of the all-glass birds. They are delicate, easily shattered...though, thankfully, they never lose their health, no matter how long you let them drink water, or even spirits.

i like old lantern

[DrinkingDucker]

@stirlingsteamboy08, hi. I was given that lantern many years ago by the grandson of its original, 1900-era owner. A new rubber gasket, a charge of water and carbide: it works like new, making a really nice white light about like a 2 cell incandescent torch, but of a whiter light.

I had one of these ducks way back in 1949 when I was at boarding school in England. I was a nine year old boy at the time. That is 62 years ago.

why do engineers not make this concept into a machine that produces mechanical energy? Because it doesnt cost money for the bird to move and produce energy.

@DrinkingDucker

so this is a perpetual motion device?? My drinking bird has been going for 5 days straight. So this mean we created infinite energy ?

[renegade3355]

so when does the bird stop drinking?? does it run out of the fluid or something?

[TheAviator8]

Our answer to free energy.
