the revolving chandelier

The revolving chandelier has four half reflective, half transparent lightshades.
The lightshades are shaped like a propellor and balance on a small steel tip. The rising air, heated by the three halogen bulbs makes all four lightshades rotate.
The idea of heat making a lightshade rotate is nothing new of course..many of you probably had a bed light when you were young with a small rotating landscape scene.

One day in the near future halogen lights will probably be banned. I still dont know if that is good or bad. Up untill now there still is no good energy efficient full-spectrum replacement for the halogene bulbs. In the case of the revolving chandelier, at least the excess energy (heat in stead of light) is used to do something extra for the light..making it revolve silently and make the whole light twinkle like an oldfashoined chandelier.

The revolving chandelier is produced in a limited edition of 12.
It will be shown at the wonderful shop of Rossana Orlandi in Milan, during the Salone 2009.

None of the info is showing up - great youtube format - can you post a link in the comments for more info???

Certainly an eye-catching and innovative chandelier design. How does it rotate? I was thinking it might have been heat convection, but I doubt there is sufficient heat.

Thanks
