A decorative wind spinner includes a blade assembly with blades radially emanating from a base configured to rotate around a rotational axis. The blades are driven by wind power at a rotational speed. A motor, powered by a photovoltaic panel, drives a rotating drive shaft. A one-way clutch links the drive shaft to the base so that when the rotational speed of the blade assembly is greater than the rotational speed of the drive shaft, the clutch prevents transfer of the rotational force from the drive shaft to the base. When the rotational speed of the blade assembly is less than the rotational speed of the drive shaft, the clutch transfers rotational force from the drive shaft to the base.
