Student inventor creates £20 wind turbine out of scrap for developing world


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.
