01:07
WK: After I dropped out of school, I went to library,
15
42000
4000
WK: Okul bıraktıktan sonra, kütüphaneye gittim,
01:11
and I read a book that would -- "Using Energy,"
16
46000
4000
ve bir kitap okudum -- 'Enerjiyi Kullanmak',
01:15
and I get information about doing the mill.
17
50000
3000
ve rüzgar gülünü yapmak için oradan bilgi aldım.
01:18
And I tried, and I made it.
18
53000
2000
Ve denedim ve yaptım.
01:20

21
69000
2000
WK: Ah hayır. Ben sadece --
01:36
CA: What happened?
22
71000
2000
CA: Ne oldu peki?
01:38
WK: In fact, a design of the windmill that was in the book,
23
73000
4000
WK: Aslında kitaptaki rüzgar gülünün tasarımı,
01:42
it has got four -- ah -- three blades,
24
77000
4000
dört -- ah -- üç pervanesi vardı,
01:46

34
100000
3000
CA: Peki rüzgar gülünü neyden yaptın?
02:08
What materials did you use?
35
103000
2000

55
164000
4000

03:13
WK: Yeah, I want to build another one --
56
168000
3000
WK: Evet, bir tane daha yapmak istiyorum --
03:16
to pump water and irrigation for crops.
57
171000
5000
su çekmek için ve bitkileri sulamak için.
03:21
CA: So this one would have to be bigger?
58
176000
2000
CA: Yani onun daha büyük mü olması gerekecek?
03:23
WK: Yeah.
59
178000
1000
WK: Evet.
03:24
CA: How big?
60
179000
1000
CA: Ne kadar büyük?
03:25
WK: I think it will produce more than 20 the watts.
61
180000
5000
WK: 20 Watt'tan daha fazla üretmesi gerekir diye düşünüyorum.
03:31
CA: So that would produce irrigation for the entire village?
62
186000
4000
CA: Yani bu bütün köy için sulama imkanı mı verir?
03:35
WK: Yeah.
63
190000
2000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
William Kamkwamba - InventorTo power his family's home, young William Kamkwamba built an electricity-producing windmill from spare parts and scrap -- starting him on a journey detailed in the book and film "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind."
Why you should listen
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. The windmill he built powers four lights and two radios in his family home.
After reading about Kamkwamba on Mike McKay's blog Hactivate (which picked up the story from a local Malawi newspaper), TEDGlobal Conference Director Emeka Okafor spent several weeks tracking him down at his home in Masitala Village, Wimbe, and invited him to attend TEDGlobal on a fellowship. Onstage, Kamkwamba talked about his invention and shared his dreams: to build a larger windmill to help with irrigation for his entire village, and to go back to school.
Following Kamkwamba's moving talk, there was an outpouring of support for him and his promising work. Members of the TED community got together to help him improve his power system (by incorporating solar energy), and further his education through school and mentorships. Subsequent projects have included clean water, malaria prevention, solar power and lighting for the six homes in his family compound; a deep-water well with a solar-powered pump for clean water; and a drip irrigation system. Kamkwamba himself returned to school, and is now attending the African Leadership Academy, a new pan-African prep school outside Johannesburg, South Africa.
Kamkwamba's story is documented in his autobiography, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope. A documentary about Kamkwamba, called William and the Windmill, won the Documentary Feature Grand Jury award at SXSW in 2013 (watch a trailer ). You can support his work and other young inventors at MovingWindmills.org.
