I don't know if this is it

but what are these decorations that spin by themselves called?

they usually have parts spinning and kind of swinging in opposite directions

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 18 02:14:05 2014 No.584491 >>584490 http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/e060/ Pretty sure they're called kinetic sculptures

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 18 02:19:05 2014 No.584495 >>584492 Quite possible. Strict ducking tolerances though. All that they are really are extremely well balanced sticks.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 18 02:33:06 2014 No.584503 >>584499 Perpetual, no. But for a long time, yeah. I know jack shit about that, though.

>>584503
if such a device could be made to also generate electricity in the process or spinning/movement, and with a mechanism of using some generated electricity to perpetuate the mechanical movement in self sustainability could it be used to automatically generate power?

what would be needed for such a device?

ie capacitor
