AfriGadget is one of my favourite sites. Here’s an article on rebuilding an alternator. We have seen a similar ingenuity in action a number of times. Our swamp cooler pump was rebuilt using similar techniques and ingenuity.

How-to: Rebuild an Alternator in Africa

By Erik

Bernard took me to see Stephan, an auto mechanic who is a master of fixing things with very few tools or supplies. Stephan is truly amazing, an example of an African who uses his ingenuity to solve problems that would seem insurmountable to others.

One of the things Stephan has done, is figured out a way to rebuild alternators with limited materials.

Go to AfriGadget to see the video of this being done.
