Wind Swimmer

This whirligig was at Kitsilano Pool at Kits Beach for many years but, unfortunately, is no longer there. I shot this video with a Canon Powershot G1X on February 4, 2012.
Update: I'm happy to report that the swimmer has undergone a restoration and has been back for about a year now (today is August 7/2019). We are glad to have her back...

Top shelf! This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@Varavicky]

Thanks. All the more glad I shot this when I did because it has been gone a long time now and no idea whether or not the city is going to see to it that it gets restored and reinstated...

una obra de arte....

[@CR10.07]

Does anyone know: How does the wire move slower than the propeller?

[@Varavicky]

Good question, I have no idea...

[@Varavicky]

Actually I think it has to do with the gearing of the wheel...

[@joshuamoore24_7]

That's pretty neat!
