From Daily Mail--
"A student has built a wind turbine from scrap to help people in the developing world.
Max Robson, 22, constructed a prototype using rubbish collected from skips, tips and bins including an old bike frame and wheel bearings, the magneto from a Vespa, a battery from a Ford Fiesta and bits of wood.
It is so simple, he says, it can be built by unskilled workers in less than a day anywhere in the world."

We here at T4E Headquarters like the idea of taking scrapped junk and turning it into useful and productive gizmos and doodads, and so I tip my geek hat to young Mr. Robson, and others of his ilk.
