Will tech really die?

[Scythe13]

it might not be used for its original purpose but it will get used for something.

in any case, I thought all you "techies" would be setting up wind turbines and solar electric systems? or is that just wishful thinking.

I am. Going solar, and wind (small scale to start…oddly using an alternator from a scrappy), and I'm playing around with the wind (as it's a self build) to try the theory of water. If it works with wind, water should work too. I remember a really helpful post about waterwheels from NR…probably posted around 2 years ago, about efficiency of water systems and waterwheel locations/positioning in relation to the flow. Very helpful. So providing I can get the alternator to pump up a little, I'll make a pinwheel style system as a mini trial for the waterwheel, and then I'll try and attach the alternator to the turbo trainer and see what I can pump out with that.
