With an open mind and a wish to help,15-year-old Douglas Macartney invented a wind turbine (風力渦輪機).Douglas made it for (1)

a real working prototype(原型) by a team of student engineers at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) in the UK.
The students worked over several years to create the prototype, (3)

they also added two solar panels(太陽能電池板) to give it more power.Users could put up the turbine (4)

Andrew Cowell,a senior teacher at the university,said, "The wind turbine is made to produce (9)
