Nice. Has anyone successfully moved off grid with these micro domestoc generator type setups? Maybe not a single unit, but a series of water, wind, solar etc...?
I can't speak for the one in the video--although that inventor is a Scottish guy who seems to work in impoverished areas in Africa, Panema, Tibet, etc. so I presume his design works as he keeps using it--but Kris Harbour (https://www.youtube.com/@KrisHarbour) is a homesteading guy in the UK who is running his homestead on a combo of solar, water generation, and wind power.
Kris Harbour's latest video is him installing a waterwheel for a client, although he himself uses a little water turbine on his own property. He has videos of both up.
That's the thing. I'm thinking of small omnidirectio al wind turbines, drain flow turbines (like the one in the article) or waterwheels for rivers or drain flow, maybe a small solar installation... would love to give it a shot it if it's viable for a modern suburban household.
