About this model
Since I have not yet bought proper lamps for the new house, I thought I'd make a nicer lamp shade. I looked around for one, but decided to make my own. Being a mechanical engineer, I thought, "Why not something that's well engineerd?" Then I saw that a proper and functional turbine would not look even remotely ok, so I modified it for more of an aesthetic look. This is the result. If you choose to make one, keep in mind NOT to use it with an incandescent light bulb. Flourecent or LED bulbs would be wiser. You don't want the heat to melt it or set it on fire. Having said that, use at your own risk. Update: I added a PlainLampShade that can be used with the same MountingBase. It was originally going to be a simple lamp shade, but it evolved slightly. I guess you could roll your own lamp shad…
