I'll tweak the description, see if it gets any love. |

Candles are (relatively) heavy, so you'll probably want a magnetic bearing. And you only want a slow spin, lest you blow the candles out.
On second thoughts, that could be a thing. Have candles on pivots, so centrifugal force swings them out a little. As holder spins faster, candles get blown out. It slows down, candles swing back to "neutral", where a fixed candle (or set of candles) re-lights the moving ones. Rinse & repeat. |

I'd want them to turn pretty slowly. They're definitely a lot heavier than the dolphins in the link. I'd have them very close to the rod holding them up in the middle and would just use low/flat tea candles. |

Interesting ideas to fiddle with here. Like the idea some kind of cycle going where they go out and get lit again. |

I think that would be kind of relaxing to watch like a regular candle but more interesting. |

Combine the revolving incense holder with the candle thing. You get relaxing spiral smoke patterns. |

I'm gonna make one of these. |

Could just have the incense rotate from the candles turning the fan. |

Re the link: Yea, but it needs to be gently rotating. |
