Yoghurt pots could spark cheap energy
By The Westmorland Gazette.
A SPARK of inventive genius from a Burneside electrician could lead to a revolution in the way power is supplied "on stream" to thousands of homes.
Ian Gilmartin's experimental waterwheel is the first to harness the hydro-electric potential of shallow running water.
Made partly from "surplus yoghurt pot plastic", the invention is capable of being used in river and stream depths of only a few inches, making it a viable form of electricity generation at up to 100,000 sites across the country.
