This Urban Sprout article reports how an electrical engineering student (Hartmut Jagau)at Cape Town University won the Student Poster Presentation award at the 2011 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ Energy Conversion Congress & Exposition that was held last year in the USA for his innovative wind generator design.
"His last prototype could generate 328W of electrical power – enough to provide a household with electricity to run one 19-inch colour television, two portable stereos, ten 16W compact fluorescent light bulbs and three mobile phone chargers."
