I’ve been tinkering with small-scale wind turbines in my garage lately, mostly for fun, but I’m curious if anyone’s taken it further. Has anyone here actually turned their garage into a proper testing lab and found ways to monetize it? Maybe selling data, consulting, or even building prototypes for startups?
I’d love to hear how you got started, what equipment was essential, and whether it’s been worth the effort. Also, any unexpected challenges you ran into would be super helpful. Drones got me into renewable energy, and now I’m itching to see if this could be more than just a hobby. Any tips or stories?
