Ian Gilmartin

Ian Gilmartin is a British inventor from Kendal in the United Kingdom. In 2006 he invented a mini-waterwheel that generates electricity. The prototype produces 1-2 kW.

The off-the-shelf low head micro hydro waterwheel system could generate a supply of electricity from a water fall as little as 8 in (20 cm) [ [http://www.lec.lancs.ac.uk/business/partnership/trickle.pdf The Lancaster Environment Centre] ] .
