He experimented with a small model using a cheap dynamo and, using this experience, eventually made a functioning windmill that powered some electrical appliances in his family's house. Local farmers and journalists investigated the spinning device and Kamkwamba's fame in international news skyrocketed. A blog about his accomplishments was written on Hacktivate and Kamkwamba took part in the first event celebrating his particular type of ingenuity called Maker Faire Africa, in Ghana in August 2009.[2]Kamkwamba was born in a family of relative poverty and relied primarily on farming to survive.

Molina was a key player in the fight against the production of chlorofluorocarbons. At first, many people were skeptical, but Molina persisted, and ultimately got the scientific community to support him. Molina's work led to the eventual ban of their use in many countries around the world, including the United States, which was one of the biggest producers of CFCs. Because of their work, Molina and Rowland were awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1995. Molina was the first Mexican ever to receive this honor.…
