Additional information is here: leehite.org/Chimes.htm
There may be times when you want a set of chimes in a windless environment, or even outdoors in a low wind environment like a heavily wood area. Using an electromagnet to repel a high intensity magnet at the end of the striker rod can provide you with endless possibilities. Typically named chaos engine, this arrangement can produce a random movement for the striker. Powered by either 120 VAC or a 12 VDC solar charged battery, the electromagnet is controlled by a circuit board with an adjustable strike rate. You can design your individual set of windless chimes using components purchased from Sonntag Creations (sonntagcreations.wordpress.com/) formerly Newton's Flying Magnets. Or you can email Roger Sonntag at [email protected] or call him at 585-615-4236.

This could be a fun thing to do as an Elementary School Science Fair experiment. "Can you make a wind-less wind chime?" Thanks for the idea!
