I finally got a spare 5 minutes to have a go at something i've been wanting to try for about 3 months, basically the idea is to build a wind turbine from a ........wait for it.......pringles tin... Yup and pringles tin

I first saw this on http://www.instructables.com/ . My approach is slightly different,and after the first attempt to get the actual turbine working I have figured out what I need to do for the MK II.
I still need to get all the magnets and stuff on to see how much electricity this sucker can generate (not much).

Anyway I figured we could all do with a laugh so here is the movie. Enjoy
