In Bosnia they hooked little paddle wheels in rivers and streams up to dynamos to run small appliances on during the war .
They ran lighting , televisions and vcrs and radio etc on it . Not reliable -and not fancy -but they could charge batteries and see movies from:
America - very good country yes

Wind, a wind turbine could be made simple for any village. Attach the alternator with a belt drive system
Water, water wheel is a steady provider of power which hopefully would always be there. This could also be used to power other tools at the same time. Attach the alternator with a wheel held there by gravity?
The question I have is would 24v (car power source) be useful enough to power anything?
