Three years ago Gordon McGavin, 32 -year-old MoKiliop 'farmer, dee aided he wanted electricity on his farm,, and because there is no hydro line along the 12th line the took the only course that was. open. He started to generate his own power from Silver Creek, a small stream that runs' through the 200 -acre Prop- erty. Today the MoGavin farm, eight miles nee h of Seaforth, is the only one in Huron County generating its own power. When opened full he turbine will generate six horse- power, but usually the wheel is on- ly half opened to generate about one and a half horsepower sufficient to keep anything on the farm go. ing. Power is smrpplied for lighting the home and buildings and for op- erating a seed -cleaning machine, a deep well pump, a hot water pres. sure pump, a radio and. numerous electrical appliances. Gordon's mother, Mrs, John Mc. Gavin, who passed: away seven years. ago, read an article In a mechenio's magazine 15 years ago, erprlaining haw water power might be utilized to generate electricity on the farm, but it was not until three years, ago that Gordon de- cided to see what he could do. To begin wth, he built a dan3 of mud and dirt, reineo:reed with boards, and on an aid binder wheel he at- tached about thirty soldered carps, Strangely enough, the power wheel worked exactly as' the magazine artt'cle 15 years ago said it would Lt generated about one horsepower. Built Cement Dam "The old water wheel is not much good in the event of Spring floods," Mr, MlcGavin explained: "Every foot the water rises on the wheel takes a foot off the head of the dam until, when it .reaches the eentre of the wheel you have no power. Later the same year that the mud dam lva6' built we had, a chance to buy a lturbine wheel frons an old mill at Beimore. We built a cement dam then behind the original mud dam and it can be raised six feet to generate six horsepower when the wheel is open. ed full. Usually, bowever, we keep the turbine only half opened to generate about one and a half horsepower, which Is plenty to keep everything going." The transmission from an old model T Ford is used to drive the generator and the generator is made from an old Delco idgine with the connecting rod taken out and a Pulley put on, Champion Plowman A two-year man at the Guelph 0.
