My farm is 100% solar, unless I fire up the generator. I have a wind turbine I need to build a tower for, to add additional unpredictability :D

ive been wanting an old fashioned waterwheel. maybe a belt drive to a slow rpm windmill motor.
but i always come back to the fewer moving parts, less maintenance principle

100% I have a creek running through my property, but no more than two metres of head, and maybe 20 days of flow per year (Australia...). I've thought about hooking up a "centripetal" / "Tesla" water turbine (these scale down better than others, even if the peak efficiency isn't great), but after ...

One of my car-spiders jumped on my hand yesterday while I was driving. I threw her off, and she ran around in circles for a while. Its springtime here, I need to recruit more spiders to fight the mos...

Feeling the same. That is a very intentional and beautiful process. You are an inspiration.

You should have feed them mosquitos during summer

Do they tilt to maximize sun angle?

im not sure that juice is worth the squeeze around here. below a certain number of panels, that kind of investment is hard to justify. its seems like more an indulgence of high maintenance gadget addiction

You should see how consistent ours are in SoCal 😂 so different from when we were on the east coast even though they offered better incentives

i guess youre right. 🤔 they would behave differently wherever they are.

And since we don’t get much rain, we have to wash them more often so there’s pros and cons

I’m feeling well. I love the fall weather. I’m super busy batten down the hatches for the upcoming rains. I’m ready for short days and little bit of hibernation. How you doing?

atyh @atyh 1790199917

same 🙂
pre rain battening.
these cool sunny days have been hitting me deep. really peaceful and enjoyable.
thinking about writing over the winter. and because i seem to have to make something associated with an interest,
thinking about making some jigs for binding journals.

solar panels are an interesting creature to live with. they don’t display the well
contained predictably so sought after in the industrialized west. they are more fluid in their behavior. a hot, clear, sunny summer day will not necessarily capture more energy than a cool,
light overcast fall day. temperature and sun angle change efficiency.
i like interacting with systems which have changing behavior based on inputs and environment. it keeps your mind active, and seeking understanding.
