Abstract

A machine for automated generation of movement of chimes with a base, an power source in the base electromagnetically connected to a post, chimes disposed about the post for receiving electromagnetic energy, a control circuit for generating intermittent electric power to said source for creating magnetic forces on said chimes. The chimes may also be moved by electric power, water movement, wind generated by the power source or ionic wind movement.

Claims

1. A machine for automated generation of movement of chimes comprising:

a base;

a power source in said base electromagnetically connected to a post;

magnetically responsive chimes disposed about the post for receiving electromagnetic energy;

a control circuit for generating intermittent electric power to said source for creating magnetic forces on said chimes.

2. A machine for automated generation of movement of chimes comprising:

a base having a motor for generating intermittent power;

a wind generator powered by said motor;

chimes disposed in proximity to said wind generator that move in response to the wind.

3. A machine for automated generation of movement of chimes comprising:

a base;

a motorized pump in said base for pumping liquid;

a wind generator responsive to movement of said liquid;

chimes that respond to said wind.

4. A machine for automated generation of movement of chimes comprising:

a base;

a power source in said base;

chimes that move in response to power generated by said power source.
