Thank you to Kitty for the submission!

Our friend’s found this at their transfer station. It’s obvious that the poles and such move, but it’s unclear whether they move up or down. It could be a windmill, but it could also be lowered down like a drill. Perhaps it’s to detect how fast a river is flowing or maybe even generate power from a stream?

Whatever it is, it’s a mystery and we’re hoping you can help us figure out what it is.

UPDATE:

We think we’ve discovered what this is. Kitty with the help of some folks on Reddit dug up these links. It is an experiment in producing electricity at low wind speeds.
