This is awesome and great...very inspiring!! this article has great video,,,William has built three windmills in his yard using blue-gum trees and bicycle parts!
Self-taught, Mr. Kamkwamba took up windmill building after seeing a picture of one in an old textbook. He's currently working on a design for a windmill powerful enough to pump water from wells and provide lighting for Masitala, a cluster of buildings where about 60 families live.
