My friend Gritstina sent this story to me a while back and I thought I would pass it along. It's a humbling tale of a young man in Malawi making a wind turbine out of, among other things, an old bicycle. I wonder how many of us could overcome the many obstacles that William did to make something like this even if we really had to.
I work for the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Our group performs applied research involving the surfaces and interfaces relevant to next-generation thin film photovoltaic technology. My wife Kelly and I recently moved closer to work so that I can continue a long history of bike commuting that includes a 14 year long stint of not owning a car.
