Self-funding of senior projects. For example, built a wind generator. Model - have students pay for machines. First build - they imported hydraulic cylinders. Will source locally next time.

Cost will go down to $5k for Indian sourcing. 3000 rupees - $50 per student x30 students, times $1500. That is a professor's salary for 2 months. Would spend one week with a couple of technicians.
