William Kamkwamba a windmill completely out of scrap to give his families hut in Malawi power for lights and a radio. He also built a really clever circuit breaker, a bridge rectifier and a homemade light switch. He dropped out of school when he was 13 because there was a famine in Malawi and his family couldn't afford to send him to school. He went to the US government funded library and got a book about wind power out, he decided to make one and 8 months later he finished it at age 14. He's also built a second windmill for irrigation. The mills don't rotate, they just face the direction of the prevailing wind. -Gregory --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
