RedBrick & Trashman
Trashman
Hey, heard you’re a pro at fixing stuff. Got any plans for turning this pile of junk into something that actually works? I was thinking of building a wind turbine out of old shopping carts.

Hey, sure thing. First strip the carts—take the wheels, the frame, and the seat. Use the wheels as bearings, the frame as a tower, and cut a blade out of something heavier like plywood or a sturdy plastic part. Weld the blade to the shaft, attach a small DC motor that’ll act as the generator, and wire it up to a battery pack. Keep the whole thing low‑profile so it won’t be a wind‑breaker. Test it in a breezy spot; if it spins, add a simple controller to regulate the charge. Bring the carts tomorrow and we’ll get it in motion.

Nice plan. Just remember: if the cart wheels wobble, that’s the whole thing’s fault, not yours. Bring the parts, and let’s see if you can get that turbine to spin without a single screw loose. I’ll grab some duct tape and a crowbar, just in case the wind decides to act like a stubborn kid.Nice plan. Just remember: if the cart wheels wobble, that’s the whole thing’s fault, not yours.

Got it, I’ll bring the wheels and frame tomorrow. We’ll tighten everything tight. Duct tape and crowbar in the back. Let’s see if that thing can catch some wind.

Sure thing. Just make sure those wheels are flat, and keep that tape handy. I’ll be ready with the crowbar in case the wind decides to pull the whole thing apart. Let's see if we can actually get a little power out of this mess.
