Reinventing the Small Wind Turbine
The last time I read about localized power on HN, storage came up, esp batteries and inverters.<p>The majority of appliances now assume always on, very clean, 60hz (or 50 or X) power, because that's what the turbines at the power company have always made.<p>What assumptions would have to change for appliances and human life to fit with localized generation? (Ie off-grid living)
