minus-squarepeeonyou [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 months agoat first i read that as a $1500 airborne wind turbine… almost crapped myself
minus-squarejack [he/him, comrade/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoI wonder if they can be scaled down for deployment at residential scale, where wind struggle enormously due to low altitude. If you just gotta attach it to your house and run the power, it would be super fast and easy to install.
