This plant is also purely ornamental. It contains four complete 1381-J solar engines hooked to four pager motors that spin the blooms at random. The solar cells are dressed up as "sunflowers" and are placed at the back of the arrangement. The entire sculpture is made from metalic origami paper and is quite fragile. It is permanently attached to the base of a glass globe that keeps it safe and tidy. In a sunny window this plant is very active and seems almost life like in some strange way. The silver petals look very alien shimmering in the sunbeams as they spin. 






Here the dome has been removed to lessen reflections. The sunflowers can be seen on the right. They are set at an angle to maxamize efficiency.
