It's a hot air flinger for a log-burning stove flue. You fit it around the flue and as hot air rises up from the stove it spins and flings the hot air around the room. Obviously it rotates on low-expansion bearings made from neo-ceramics and Unobtanium, machined to a tolerance described in Machinery's Handbook as a 'slack fit' (see also Wikipedia: 'Ex-wives'). The vane size is given by e=Pi(Delta T1P1 over C3PO)/ Mp3(Sq. root R2D2) and inverse square law obviously applies with the vanes appearing to get smaller the further away you get.

Do I get my Doctorate in thermodynamics now? :whistle:

That's exactly what I was going to say. :clapping:
