Commitment and perseverance, together with successes and disappointments, led Mr Vito Camatti to build this turbine, fully working and proven on numerous models.
Our thanks for their collaboration go to Mr Genovese Santino, for designing and building the control unit, and to Messrs Spada Paolo, Bellon Enrico and Ghezzo Giuseppe, for sourcing special materials.
