    I had a friend of a friend put up a mini turbine when it first started, it was mostly DIY. I’m pretty sure there could be some basic DIY ways in a form that isn’t blades, that are efficient enough and could be done with recycled materials. The batteries I guess would have to be new. Still a step in a great direction.

    I’m thinking more along the lines of this: https://rubinmuseum.org/collection/artwork/wind-powered-prayer-wheel-20.406 , but stacked with maybe 5 rows each depending on how much one could hold. You could add on as needed and have walls of them.

    I’m sure there are local engineers that could come up with new ways other than what I mentioned that make a personal wind power as efficient as a giant turbine. I’m surrounded by Boeing people, I’ll ask around.
