Both worked fine. That is a picture of one of my friends, David, who was up at my place to see in the new year.
At midnight we all watched the fireworks - both the legal, city-sponsored fireworks at the showground, and the dozens of (in many cases even more spectacular) illegal private fireworks displays around the area.

After that, David fired up the bagpipes and we disturbed the neighbours for a while longer - then my daughter (side-drummer from a couple of other pipe and drum bands) and he played merry hell for a while. A good time was had by all.

OK. The image I showed was a "wind-powered device".
It works by blowing in it.
I suppose you'll make the same claim? :)

Be aware I have seen a few of those...


They have a limited warranty if you purchase one :)

Solar panels warranties typically far exceed it.

What about maintenance cost after the warranty runs out?   ;D
