Design and History of German Pyramid:<\/h4>\n

The German candle pyramid is an ornate piece of artwork, which uses the heat a candle generates to\u00a0rotate a fan, which will then move delicately carved figurines and images around in a circle. There are\u00a0several other names used to describe candle pyramids, including: German pyramid, candle carousel,\u00a0lightstocks, Windr\u00e4dchen and table whirligigs. All of these names describe an item that has a central rod\u00a0with a fan connected to the topmost end. Wind or heat is used to generate motion in the fan. This motion\u00a0causes the rod to rotate and in so doing, causes movement of figurine settings.<\/p>\n

The history of the German candle pyramid or candle carousel stems from a pre-industrialization age. The\u00a0German candle pyramid originated from the development of the windmill, the first of which were built in\u00a0Persia somewhere in the 6th to 8th centuries. It is believed that the windmill migrated with the crusaders\u00a0back home to Europe where they were used to pump water and as grinders for numerous things (wheat,\u00a0seeds, etc.). It is from the construction of a windmill that the concept of a candle pyramid, where a fan\u00a0propels lightweight wooden tiers to move, came into being.<\/p>\n
