When I was a kid we used to create cartoons in our textbooks by hand- you sort of flip the edge of the pages and watch the animation. A weathervane could be made with a large number of flaps (like a big rolodex) that have an amusing cartoon on them. Depending on the direction of the wind, the cartoon
would go backwards or forwards. Probably wouldn't be so funny in a hurricane-too blurry.

I suspect that this idea would work better with an anemometer than a plain old weathervane. [jurist, Apr 03 2006]

Pretty cool idea, actually. |
|
| |
How would you return frames to the
front? |
|
| |
There's no return- because of the rotational nature of the device, there would be just a repeating motion. Maybe big lips kissing over and over or a guy getting hit on the head. There could be advertising applications as well. Another cool thing is that the cartoon is visible from all sides of the building. |

Thank you, Jurist- I was actually looking for that very word. |

I like the lowtech aspect of this. You
would need a pinwheel with a single cog
that came around to flip up the next
page. |

Perhaps best with an animation of a cock rising in the morning. |

I've been to Vegas where prostitution is legal...the idea for a repetitious advertising cartoon for a brothel is disturbing, to say the least. |

I saw a show once where these clay figures spun on the spokes of a horizontal wheel. A strobe light made the clay shape in front of you apparently change shape. Very cool stuff. Anyway, lightning may have the same effect. BUN! |
