Built with used bicycle parts, the LED-embedded wheels are also intended to provide lighting as they are spun. Prayer wheels are found in Tibet where they are constantly turned by tourists. While Taikkun has found a way to utilize them, he doesn’t address how they can be implemented without affecting the historical structures of the temples. [via Core 77]]]>
