This is probably going to feel obvious but YouTube. You can learn most of the things on YouTube nowadays, there are videos and tutorials for basically all hobbies. That's my first go-to place when I'm learning something new, and then I try to understand who can be good people to learn from and follow them on other media as well (mainly twitter).

Satya is one of the best CEOs of this decade, truly amazing to see how Microsoft has evolved since he took over. I still wonder what Microsoft could have become if they had put more effort and a better strategy with Windows Phone... Perhaps if it was led by Satya it'd have been different.

Very cool.

Do you know what's the current status of this project? Wave energy is one of the most challenging forms of generating electricity, hats off to anyone working on it!

There's no perfect answer. Could you make enough from the private classes if you did them full time?

If not, and if your goal is to start your own business, I'd say that you need to have free time to work on it. It's generally not the best idea to quit your job without having something lined up for your business idea and without traction, so I wouldn't quit just yet.

Like you said, going for a more "conventional" company is also an option, as it'd give you more free time to work on your side project while still earning money to finance it.

If it was me I'd do this last option, I think it's the most balanced solution. Just be selective in choosing the company as you also don't want to feel demotivated with your main job.
