Ian GilmartinIan Gilmartin (around 1959) who now lives in Cumbria, has reinvented the water wheel in an effort to provide a new energy-efficient method of pro ducing electricity. His wheel can produce enough electricity to power a house, using small rivers or streams. His invention loses much less water than con ventional water wheels, retains around 70% of its water in each cycle and converts it into at least 24 kilowatt hours of sustainable energy per day. Ian started with yoghourt pots and wheelie bins! He hopes to go into production and reckons the cost per wheel will be about £2000 including installation. The machine will be made from recycled plastics and allows fish to pass through. Fred Gilmour(1915-2001) Fred Gilmour (1926) died on 1st August 2001 in Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, aged 86.
