How will this affect pregnant women? maternal mortality? Will this provide an energy source for hospitals?

Can you explain a bit more about how this will work exactly and why it is more reliable than other generators? I am very interested by your idea which is why I would like to know more about it.

wind generators are more reliable because while solar energy produces low output on cloudy days,wind energy produces optimum energy,wind energy will produce power at 7-10mph and 25-30 mph and a wind generator,pv modules and hydro electric can be used to charge any kind of battery Reliability
In the past reliability was the "Achilles Heel" of small wind turbine products. Small turbines designed in the late 1970's had a well deserved reputation for not being very reliable. Today's products, however, are technically advanced over these earlier units and they are substantially more reliable. Small turbines are now available that can operate 5 years or more, even at harsh sites, without need for maintenance or inspections and 5-year warranties are available. The reliability and cost of operation of these units is equal to that of photovoltaic systems.
A wind generator is a device that generates electrical power from wind energy.

Wind generators have traditionally been wind turbines, i.e. a propeller attached to an electric generator attached to appropriate electronics to attach it to the electrical grid or to charge batteries.

Recently, however, a reciprocating non-turbine wind generator, the Windbelt, has been invented. It promises to reduce the cost for generating small amounts of power tenfold. Wind generators have become very popular lately as a means to generate power for your home. Large installations of wind generators can run entire towns.

Wind generators come in many different sizes and shapes from vertical models, horizontal and even rooftop models.

It sounds like you've done some homework on wind generators, but, are hospitals in need of a different power source? What power source are they currently using and is that source unreliable? If it is unreliable, how much is it going to cost to put in enough wind turbines to run a hospital. I'd like to see something that shows how mothers are directly going to benefit from this. Green energy is good, but how is it going to help in this specific case? This message is not meant to discourage, just some questions I have. You idea is commendable I just want to see how it's going to work.

The hospitals have a very poor power supply that is neighter reliable nor efficient,most times the voltage are not enough to get this equipments running and most times too its scarcely found and it is not cost efficient.
As for the cost it varies from the equipment been used in a particular hospital and this will go a long way in reducing infant mortality and save mothers from the sufferings the pass through because it will help in providing a reliable source of pwoer which will keep the equipments running and safe.
