Answers
William Kamkwamba, from Malawi, is a born inventor. When he was 14, he built an electricity-producing windmill from spare parts and scrap, working from rough plans he found in a library book called Using Energy and modifying them to fit his needs. He gained fame in his country in 2001 when he built a wind turbine to power multiple electrical appliances in his family's house in Wimbe, 32 km east of Kasungu, using blue gum trees, bicycle parts, and materials collected in a local scrapyard.
Answer:
William was only fourteen years old, when he built the wind turbine. He was a simple boy who had never even seen a computer but after his invention he was discovered by journalists and invited to speak at a TED conference, which led to worldwide recognition of his accomplishments and goals.
