Solar Powered Rotating Plant Stand

My Jade plant kept leaning towards the window, so I decided to do something about it. I made a solar powered rotating plant stand out of K’nex. Since it is solar powered, it only rotates when the sun is completely out; I am hoping that this still helps the plant not lean. It has only been rotating for a day, so I don’t have any results to share yet. Check the video out below of it in action:

    Hi Adam, thats really awesome, I see what you mean when you say that you got a lot of k-enex (I know I spelled that wrong). I like the gear ratios.

    Adam,

    That is a great idea for a really common problem. I hate it when my plants lean into the sun, it’s hard enough for me to remember to water them, let alone turn them occasionally to prevent this. A great simple and elegant solution.
