Dosen\'t do much, but it looks neat

I was at the mall yesturday and saw these 'self powered roller blade light up wheels. Upon futrher inspection i saw that it was basically a stepper motor with the windings spinning, powering 3 leds. I thought 'I can make something with that idea'.
so I did.

Just a stepper with dowel rod on it and 3 leds. Common wire is to one of the coils, and the LEDs are to the other 3 coils. the coil common is left open. LEDs ran brighter this way.
Hey, dosen't look like much, but the kids like it.
