Studio
The studio
Work that is not a proof: things built, things photographed, things painted. Same subjects, different instrument.

Build a wind turbine that charges a small battery
A garden-scale rotor, a salvaged motor and a charge controller. How close a shed build gets to the ceiling in proof no. 01.
A working notebook of the build: blade carving, generator choice, rectification, and the measured power curve set against the Betz ceiling.
02Photography

Photographs of turbines
Big machines in flat light. Scale, repetition, and the look of a thing that is mostly air.
A short series, shot on location. Captions carry the numbers where they help.
03Painting

Painting a turbine
One canvas, painted slowly, while thinking about the same 16/27.
Process shots, the palette, and what looking for a long time teaches that a derivation does not.
More studio work as the proofs land
