do we have any resident experts on solar power generators? I'm curious if they are worth buying yet. I have sleep apnea so I use a cpap at night and have been thinking about ways to keep it going. I'm not opposed to buying a regular generator and still might, the problem is that most don't run on a full gas tank for 8+ hours.

I have another idea. The windmills have a 3 blade propeller design. why don't they use a design that is more like a jet engine or a turbo charger? theoretically, with that design they could be way more efficient. if it was me designing the thing, I would have the shaft come up from the ground and then have the blades run back down the shaft on the outside.
