Marko Bosman

I am a strong believer in Sustainability as a key factor for our future and that led me to initiate projects to generate electricity with traditional Dutch windmills (www.dubbelduurzaam.nl).

During a workshop with Piet Chevalier I have learned about the Hugh Piggott wind turbine and it gave me a wonderful proud feeling when we finished a working wind turbine from scratch in three (long) days of work with relatively simple means.

I want to share this experience with other people through workshops and cooperation. I recognize the keen and efficient design of the Hugh Piggott wind turbine and I like to improve it where possible in favor of the application in developing countries and to support the I-love-Windpower movement.
