Hey, heard you built a wind turbine out of shopping carts—nice hack. I’m thinking of trying something similar, but adding a solar bit for backup. Think we can make a hybrid thing that actually works on a campsite?
Solar on a shopping‑cart turbine? Sure, if you can find a solar panel that fits in a tote and don’t mind a lot of duct tape, bitter coffee, and the occasional crowbar tweak. Just remember, the real power is in the wind; the sun’s a backup that’ll go kaput if you don’t rig it right.
That’s the spirit—ditch the coffee for the first run, keep the duct tape handy, and I’ll bring a spare panel. We’ll see if the wind can keep the sun from going flat. Ready for a field test tomorrow?
