I was moved first to laughter, and then to tears by William's explanation of how he turned some PVC pipe, a broken bicycle and some long wooden poles into a machine capable of generating sufficient current to power lights and a radio in his parents' house.|9780061730337|, The book abounds with themes that resonate deeply: the idea that with hard work and persistence comes triumph; that optimism is not a mental state but a type of action, that from grief and loss can come success., This book is inspirational.

Synopsis
Now a Netflix Film, Starring and Directed by Chiwetel Ejiofor of 12 Years a Slave William Kamkwamba was born in Malawi, a country where magic ruled and modern science was mystery. It was also a land withered by drought and hunger. But William had read about windmills, and he dreamed of building one that would bring to his small village a set of luxuries that only 2 percent of Malawians could enjoy: electricity and running water. His neighbors called him misala--crazy--but William refused to let go of his dreams. With a small pile of once-forgotten science textbooks; some scrap metal, tractor parts, and bicycle halves; and an armory of curiosity and determination, he embarked on a daring plan to forge an unlikely contraption and small miracle that would change the lives around him. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is a remarkable true story about human inventiveness and its power to overcome crippling adversity. It will inspire anyone who doubts the power of one individual's ability to change his community and better the lives of those around him.

They also graciously provided detailed answers for a few pre-sales question I had to make sure the item would work for my specific need. The price was good, especially from such a reputable seller, and the item was exactly as expected.
- 9***m (9)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI found this seller because of a video he presented on YouTube explaining all the different SAS/SATA cards he had and sold. His service is speedy, arrived in 2 days from California to Maryland. Great product, great value, swift service, well-packed for shipment. I'll be a returning customer.
- 0***l (144)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufYet another item that was well packaged and shipped quickly. While I know it's used, I can't tell by looking at it; the seller takes pride in what he sells and makes it look as much like new as possible. When I plugged it in and powered it up, it worked. I had a question and got a fairly quick answer to it. If you need anything for your home data center, even if it's just a single HP Z-series workstation and a JBOD, this seller has at least some of the parts you need.
