The Solarlight by Eon Tae Yoon is a pinwheel-based design that allows you to harness the energy of the wind to power a light. (Yet, it is called the Solarlight, and not the Windlight.)
The Solarlight works on a turbine system, with the wind driving the blades in a circular motion, that then powers the light tube held within. The Solarlight is potentially a sustainable product that can be used in developing countries, allowing for greater accessibility to technology.
