Wind Powered Tower

This was an exciting project. The tower in the picture was constructed and erected by a team from Baobab Health Trust where I led the Engineering arm as Engineering manager and then Director of Engineering until June, 2018. It relied solely on wind for power. On top of the tower was a 300W windmill which  was a full 48V battery charger. The power setup was used to drive a 32km wireless connection. The tower was used for over 3 years with stable connection.
