Teaching
Malawian students how to build small scale wind turbines.
After
successfully building a 240 mm diameter wind turbine in my back garden here in
Malosa to see if it was possible to build a wind turbine Hugh Piggot style in Malawi,
and after running this windmill for about 4 months to find out if it was worth
the effort, I am ready for the next step:
Teaching
Malawian students how to built and use small scale wind turbines.
This Month
I started teaching at Mikolongwe DAPP Vocational School in Chiradzulu. We plan
to construct a 300 mm diameter Hugh Piggot style wind turbine with 22 students
from DAPP. The course will be given in
the coming two months as a pilot project.
After this period hopefully making wind turbines will be part of daily life at Mikolongwe.
