Alternate Power in 1920s. The lights go on. Homemade hydroelectric power modernizes the farm. The challenges of extreme cold in winter and a short growing season, along with a remote location tested the resolve and determination of Robert Blackwood. But the promise of the opportunity to be his own man and have his own farm outweighed any doubts. It was his idea to build a farm out of the wilderness and therefore his responsibility to make it work. A story of struggle, survival and inspiration.

1939 Newspaper Article

http://www.blackwoodsofdunster.com/1939-newspaper-article.html

History of the Blackwood family in Dunster, British Columbia. Alternate Power in 1920s. I remember seeing it work as a young boy in the late '50's when my grandfather took me under his machine shop into the space where the hand crafted wooden water wheel spun under the pressure of the water, turning the generator and producing more than enough electricity. Since it was Direct Current, it was engaged and disengaged by a belt clutch operated by a lever on the shop floor.

Alternate Power in 1920's

http://www.blackwoodsofdunster.com/alternate-power-in-1920-s.html

History of the Blackwood family in Dunster, British Columbia. Alternate Power in 1920s. An example of an old Pelton Wheel generator system similar to the one at the Blackwood farm. Alternate Power at the Blackwood Farm. In the early 1930's Robert Blackwood installed a hydro electric power system at the farm. The province did not provide electrical service to the Dunster area until 20 years later so the Blackwood family relied on coal oil lamps for light.
