Logan and Jenni Bryce of the Belt-Highwood area are big fans of alternative energy, including wind and solar power. Advertisement
The pair of inventors and wind-power developers even power their house entirely with solar and wind-produced electricity.
This month, the Bryces shared a $50,000 third prize provided by ConocoPhillips Energy http://www.conocophillips.com/Tech/e ... e/index.htm with two Washington state engineers for developing the Micro Wind Distributive Power Generation Turbine, a small turbine that harvests power from wind at speeds of no more than 12 miles per hour.
"It was a very big surprise because it was a shot in the dark for us," Logan Bryce said Friday. "We were the only non-Ph.D. people there. We're just homegrown people who are experts in small-wind energy."
