A Very Dizzy Donald

Ok - so sometimes it’s fun to do something stupid and pointless. Hence this pointless little thing.

On a recent trip to the tip when dumping e-waste (old computers etc) I heard something. It was only quiet - but consistent. Tracking it down - I found the remains of a solar powered something sitting on top of the crate. Not sure what it was originallly. It had a solar panel on a blue flower - and spun a green disk on top rather fast.

Whatever used to be on top was long gone - but the thing was still valiantly spinning flat out whenever the sun hit it. So I took it home - no idea what to do with it though.

While moving stuff out from under the house I found a little plastic Donald Duck that must have been from a previous owner. So I glued him to the spinning thing.

And now he sits by the gate all day getting very very dizzy.

Why? Why not.

That's completely ridiculous, but IMHO ridiculous enough that you can get away with it.

How long until somebody else on your street decides they want it? I give it less than a week, unless you make it very difficult to access.

Its from one of those fake butterfly things that are supposed to keep moths off your veggies. The mouth is on a piece of wire hanging off the disc. Because of inertia the wire stays pointing the same direction but oscillates shaking the butterfly's wings.
