Show HN: Lamp Carousel – DIY kinetic sculpture powered by lamp heat

I wanted to share this fun craft activity for the holidays that I've been doing with my family over the last few years. I came up with these while cutting up some cans trying to make an aluminum version of paper spinners. There are a variety of shapes that work, but generally bigger+lighter spinners are better. Also incandescent bulbs are the best, but LEDs work too. They remind me of candle carousels I would see at my grandparents' house during Christmas. Let me know what you think!
