Malawi man powers hometown with DIY hydro-electric turbine

Description

In Malawi, only 11% of the population has access to electricity - dropping to only 4% in rural areas. In his hometown of Yobe Nkosi, Colrerd Nkosi took matters in his own hands by building a DIY hydroelectric turbine, without any professional training, to power the village.

  • Man Creates 'Soviet Snowplough' from Classic Lada Car Chassis

    Tired of struggling through the snow in Russia's cold winter, 59-year old inventor Nikolay Rodin built a snowplough to clear the rads using a classic Soviet Lada car in his Siberian home city of Barnaul. The bumbling beast of car, rattling through the roads on giant caterpillar tracks with a freshly painted Lada chassis, should probably be called the Soviet Snowplow from now on. It took Nikolay three months to convert the old Lada 2107 Zhiguli into a snowplough, which he uses to clear the roads near his home. The caterpillar tracks on Rodin's home-made snowplough allows the vehicle to turn a full 360 degrees. Now his neighbours call him 'Uncle Kolya' - he's become famous in his neck of the city for his ability to restore cars and to build high quality car prototypes. What do you think about clearing some roads with the Soviet Snowplow?

The solar-powered vehicle can cover a distance of over 120 miles with good sunlight and reach a speed of around 30 miles per hour, but the two-seater can also use gas as a backup when the weather is bad.
