RE: Solar Power as an Alternative Source of Power in Africa (Some Pictures of a Friend's Installation Which he did this Past Weekend)
I sure hope nobody steals it, in any case! Being self-sufficient in energy sounds like a great plan in any country, but maybe particularly so in Africa.
Did you ever hear of that guy in Malawi who built a wind power generator from scratch by reading how to do it on the internet? A bit more primitive but I thought that was cool too: https://www.ted.com/talks/william_kamkwamba_how_i_harnessed_the_wind
Yes, I have watched this Ted talk and read about him. Almost with zero knowledge of electricity. We have gifted individuals here. There is a guy that builds RC Quadcopter using the different salvaged part from radio mechanics. He has a zero diploma in electronics or engineering!
