When the wind is blowing, it makes leccy.

When no wind, a capacitor/battery moves the turbine tilts 90 degrees, carnival cars come out and small children go "weeeh*" and get some money in the downtime.

It's the way I tell them.

* The cars are waterproof.

       Take twenty paces, turn and ... just keep turning, if you don't mind.

       Kiddies as wind? Need open ended cars and an oversized bouncy castle. Parents always pay.
