Sunchime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Sunchime is a device analogous to a windchime but which uses sunlight instead of wind. A number of embodiments are documented, including:
- an architectural sculpture by Jeff G. Smith in Sandcastle Retreat, Clearwater, Florida[1] using glass and steel elements suspended in a twelve foot diameter skylight
- a large public work of art in AZ Mills Mall, Tempe, Arizona by Zischke Studio[2]
- a version produced by Technacraft Corp. which uses solar power to produce the sound of windchimes on a pentatonic scale.[3][4] These are available from a number of retail outlets.
Beijing Sunchime Cartoon Comic Culture Media Co. Ltd. is a leading publisher of children's books and digital cartoons in China.[5]
