Wind chimes (kinematic)

Spiral Wind Chimes

A wind chime is a decorative garden object that contains one or more components that are set in motion - mostly rotation - by the wind. It is not used to do work like a windmill or to generate electricity like a wind turbine and generally does not have any complicated mechanics such as a whirligig .

Wind chimes that produce tones or sounds are described separately in the article Wind chimes (instrument) .
