@bonifartius @SpaceElf WITH A STEP UP CAPACITOR CIRCUIT YOU CAN TRICKLECHARGE YOUR PHONE (AND THEREFORE ALL SMALL ELECTRONICS) WITH ALL SORTS OF TEENY TINY TOY GENERATORS THAT PUT OUT TRACE MILLIVOLTS
AND ROBERT MURRAY SMITH HAS TONS AND TONS OF THESE TOY AIR TURBINE PROJECTS ON HIS CHANNEL, MADE OUT OF HOUSEHOLD ITEMS

@bonifartius @SpaceElf OGEY
YOUR STANDARD USABLE WINDMILL SIZE IS 1KW
PUTTING IT ON THE ROOF MEANS THAT WHEN THE WIND FUCKS IT UP, ITS GONNA GO RIGHT THROUGH THE ROOF

THE CLASSIC CHOICE FOR STANDALONE MAST TURBINE IS THE OPENSOURCELOWTECH DESIGN
HERES THE UPDATED VIDEO AND BLUEPRINTS SHOULD BE IN DESCRIPTION

@Eiregoat
i can't do pumped hydro here, there's not enough elevation and building storage is likely too expensive.

solar.lowtechmagazine.com/low- has pretty nice solutions, some are hard to rig into existing things though.

the compressed air storage (solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2018) is interesting because it works without elevation. unfortunately you have a bomb in your yard then :)

Look, I don't know what the alternative looks like, but maybe we should aim to have an educational system that doesn't result in millions of people having recurring nightmares about forgetting to study for an exam for the rest of their entire lives???

Seems like a bad outcome

All I'm saying is that if someone was like "I will teach you what cos, sin and tan are but you will have reoccurring nightmares about exams and classes every week for the rest of your life" I would say "no thanks"

@Eiregoat i just want to have off-grid to be less dependent, the more self-sufficient the less pressure points. also every euro not spend on utility is an euro less taxed.
@SpaceElf @nugger

@Eiregoat
those are quite iconic :) it's interesting that you don't see those things often here in europe. maybe it's too easy to just run an electric line to things because of the shorter distances.

guess the biggest obstacle for me is building a good enough tower! that is what is nice about those fancy upright ones, they work closer to the ground.

I would like to believe it's becoming ever more blatantly obvious that democracy itself is a failed system with no redeeming qualities akin communism

"By the people, for the people" except the 49% that completely disagrees with you?

@Elfie also, what is that clip of? i'm kinda getting into anime, looks interesting

@Elfie yes. let's force you to inject stuff against your explicit will or we will ruin your life for shit n giggles! as additional insult we will say that you are to blame yourself, you had a "choice"!

i'm kind of a stuck record, but the whole vaccination shit was the last blackpill i'd ever need. before that i thought that things were shit, but at least some rules stand. anyone still ok with how things are done after that can't be helped.

it's frightening how difficult it is to just be left the fuck alone.

@SpaceElf thanks! guess i'll go the diy route then.

there is a dutch company which builds vertical rotators ("tulip" or something) but they are pretty expensive.
@nugger

IN THE NEAR FUTURE THE FIRST GENERATION OF MASS ADOPTED WIND TURBINES WILL REACH THE EMD OF THEIR USEFUL LIFE

END OF LIFE DISPOSAL COSTS WERE IGNORED TO MAKE THE THINGS MORE ATTRACTIVE, SO IT WILL BE A NEW EXPENSE TO COMPANIES OPERATING THEM
THEYLL WEIGH DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING COSTS AGAINST THEIR RUNNING COSTS AND DECLARE BANKRUPTCY
IT WILL BE A BIG MEDIA SCANDAL, THERE WILL BE GOVERNMENT BAILOUTS THERE WILL BE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS BY RESIDENTS OF AREAS DOTTED WITH MASTS, LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES WILL BE SADDLED WITH TAKING CARE OF THEM, A LOT OF THEM WILL JUST BE LEFT FALLOW, COLLAPSING ONTO THE GROUND

OVER TIME SCRAPPERS AND CRACKHEADS WILL CUT UP AND SELL THE METAL PIECEMEAL, BUT THE GIANT CONCRETE TURD OF A FOUNDATION WILL BE LEFT IN PLACE FOR CENTURIES TO COME
I AM OZYMANDIAS, KING OF KINGS, LOOK UPON MY GREEN ENERGY YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR

SMALLER ROOF AND TREE MOUNTED WIND TURBINES WILL CONTINUE TO BE BUILT FROM SCRAP AND CHINESE PARTS KITS FOR THE PURPOSES OF CHARGING THEY SAILFOAM AND FLASHLIGHT IN AN INCREASINGLY OFFGRID WALMART FAVELA

@CapitalB nah, i want worthless banknotes with 100 milliarden euro as value ;)
