This post is part of a biweekly series, started some time ago. It's now back!
It is meant to be a place for stackers to discuss creative projects they have been working on, or ideas they are aiming to build. Regardless of your project being personal, professional, physical, digital, or even simply an idea to brainstorm together.
If you have any creative projects or ideas that you have been working on or want to eventually work on... This is a place for discussing those, gather initial feedback and feel more energetic on bringing it to the next level.

₿e Creative, have Fun!
Sorry guys but this time I do not have any software or business idea, I have only a personal challenge. Is more like a DIY or construction project.
Now that my mountain cabin is ready, I want to add to it a "power source" from the nearby small river.
I want to install a small hydropower turbine, not too much, just like 1-2 kW.
I think the water source debit is like 1L/s . I've tested with a 8cm tube and I get like 20L in 19-25sec. Pretty good right?
My challenge is how to install it, what model should buy, what other ele tri al dispositives I need etc.
I want to get 220V with 1kW power from that river.
I do not eant solar / wind other bullshit batteries. I have a river, the most powerful and reliable source of energy. Will be a shame not to use it.
I have some electrical knowledge bacground but I never installed such thing. A real challenge for me, not only because of the devices but also how to install it on the river or next to it.
I may need ideas from somebody with real experience in this matter.
I think I've scrolled past YouTube videos of people making hydro power with old car alternators or electric dryer motors... might need a few of them to get the desired voltage, but they should also be nearly free for the scavenging.
I've seen those videos. The problem is that I do not have the right tools and a place where to work with them.
I prefer an already made turbine and just install it next to the river.
I would like to start testing with something like this: https://amzn.eu/d/0a7rK4NW
More like testing and learning by doing it. Is a good cheap option and is small. Keep in mind that my homestead place is not easy reachable by car, only by hiking 8km from nearest village, through a forest, regular trail only walking.
I was carrying all the materials in my backpack and is a hell of a job. Carrying a 20-30kg turbine on my back for 3h is not an option.
Got about 12 irons in the fire but most creative of them is the onboard flow for new nostr users via Bxrd
Bxrd is built on Web-of-Trust from a shared graph to make it sustainable and not suck, but the trade-off is it adds friction to onboarding.
I think that friction is an opportunity to guide users into making more effective nostr profiles and getting discovered... thinking carefully how to thread that needle. This would probably necessitate the positioning of Bxrd as a premium publishing tool.
The issue is that bank loan imposes high approval requirements to give you loan to start your project even family and relatives refuse to accord a loan and have these pretext may project fail and may unable to pay back loan and always how has money set the bad ideas before good ones, means you could have ideas like an ecommerce site or similar trick but every addon needs money and crypto, working here for zaps is unable to pay these services starting from 20 $ and more, P2P needs money, earning apps are most of time waste of time of survey if you are not tier 1 country, and PTP are generally for beginners, so these are all conditions against running your ecommerce site
