💡 Teenage ‘Newton of Gaza’ creates system to light up family tent

In Gaza, 15-year-old Hussam Al-Attar, dubbed the 'Newton of Gaza,' resourcefully illuminated Rafah's displacement shelters during a severe electricity crisis. Using basic tools and salvaged components from discarded electronics, including coils, wires, and magnets, Hussam created makeshift power generators.

By harnessing wind power with a dynamo and blades, he provided light to dark, cold shelters. His motivation was simple – to bring light, warmth, and joy to his twin nephews, easing their fear in the challenging environment. For more details on how Hussam generated electricity with limited resources, check out today's Must Read.
