Once upon a time I had a demo page on my web
site showing different ways to use the reflective
quality of CDs for making wind catchers.

One showed a "wind chime" sort of arrangement
where I strung four separate strings of CDs
from a plastic central plate, four CDs to a
string, with fishing swivels between each CD
so that each CD could turn in the wind
independent of every other in the string. 

Another was a "whirligig" that has CDs set
vertically into spokes - one CD to each spoke -
and the spokes set into a central axle that
also is vertical. The wind turns this assembly
like a weather anemometer turns in the wind,
flashing the sunlight from the CDs as they 
turn.

These items have been in the weather for several
years already and now show the weathering but
they are still eye catchers.
