Can i turn my wind turbine into a washing machine?
clockmanFRA:
Couldn't resist this.
Vibration and balance is going to be a problem.
Getting up 40 feet will need a special ladder, (might need a new partner, if any will have me?)
Sorry Mods, please remove this post if you think its inappropriate.
We here are not very well and need some light relief, as my youngest and me have the virus 19. And France is in lockdown,
Had it about a week, boy got it at school about 12 days ago, schools closed here in France 7 days ago.
Boy had very bad flu symptoms 6 days ago for about 36 hours.
Me, suffered Flu for 3 days, coughing wheezing spitting up gunk, heavy aching chest, streaming nose, cant clench a fist and weak as a kitten, etc etc.
NOT NICE.
We both are normally relatively healthy but the virus keeps coming back. Yesterday I felt well and looks like a recovery. Today I feel like sh.t coughing and streaming nose again.
Mrs and other 2 boys in UK but can no longer get back to France.
If I travel into our local town I have to fill out a Form to give at the police/military road blocks, explaining I am shopping for food. Problem is there is very little food as the City folk have arrived in the Country and demand is high just in town.
We have about 2 weeks supplies of essentials, after that goodness knows!
Our local Doctor surgery is overwhelmed just answering the Phone, and virus here is confirmed with deaths locally, they wont test until a hospital admission status.
The mirreibelle Plums are in full white flower bloom, which is always cheery this time of year.

I'm sorry to hear that you are suffering, and that other people's thoughtlessness is making your position worse.
Lots of 'adults' don't seem to deserve the title and rights, given their behaviour...
I had what may have been a very minor mild bout of the virus, though it may have been something different with overlapping symptoms.
I got out the house this morning for the first time in many many days after my 'quarantine period' expired, and took an early walk to the corner shop to get a few essentials (eg crisps and instant coffee!) while my other half is fighting her way through the baying hordes at the supermarket right now.

Set it up with a mechanical tilt like the did with the furling ring brakes on windmills...only it dumps when you pull the lever. You could devise a catapult to either load the washing machine or redecorate the neighbor's yard depending on the wind.
I hope guys all do well. I have acquaintances in Italy, Spain, and Turkey and I genuinely fear for them. I haven't been able to reach any but one of them :/
This will blow over. The world will walk out the other side of this. But it will be different.

I want to help something fierce, forgive the suggestion - sunshine, get plenty of it, bundle up and loiter & lounge in fresh air and direct sunshine...

(EDIT: there is something about dark chocolate that soothes the Vagus Nerve - longest and most complex of the cranial nerves w/ face and thorax to the abdomen, heart lungs bronchi motor nerve - So if you maybe want to try a bitter chocolate as lozenges ONCE for a few hours and see if that helps?)

Sorry to hear you are ill, there is a head/upper respiratory virus going around with the same symptoms of Wuhan Flu... I have had it half the winter, about the time you think you get rid of it it comes back to slap you down again...
I have been getting some sun/fresh air in the yard starting garden cleanup. Ways to go before frost is out but a head start means less to do later on. Seems to help...
