PERTH households could soon be using the Fremantle Doctor to save energy and cut electricity bills. The state is funding two projects that could result in electricity being generated from small wind turbines on suburban roofs, WA Premier Alan Carpenter said. Local inventor Graerne Attey has been given $34,000 to commercialise a modular wind turbine system that sits on a roof and can generate household power from the daily sea breeze, known as the Fremantle Doctor, that sweeps across the city. Mr Carpenter said the system was small, quiet, had no visible rotating blades, and was expected to be relatively cheap.
