I would like to see how a home wind generator creates electricity, particularly the mechanism.
Small wind turbines work by having blades that spin a shaft connected to a generator (usually with magnets and coils) that converts the rotational energy into electricity - you can find some great comparisons of home wind generators on gearscouts.com if youre looking for emergency power solutions with the best watt-hour value.
Here's a reasonably representative photo.

Exotic, rare, not representative of everyday things.

I'm going to join a vegan community which is also going to live off grid.
Can I post video links related to smart cities in your community ? This is one of the reasons why we wish to go off grid......
There must be a better community for that. A city, especially a smart city, would not be considered off grid.
I am not a member there, but I would take a look at "c/urbanism". It is about cities.
You get me wrong. I'm against cities and urbanism altogether.
I'm for off grid living.
Regardless of whether an opinion is for or against something, the recommended subject matter of this community is definitely not smart cities, but off-grid living.
