Re: Mechanical Question about project Urgent!

Yikes! Your simple question is more complicated than it may seem. From your question, it sounds like you are referring to wind driven electric generators aka windmills. So do you already have a windmill that is driving a generator? If so you just get a multimeter, put it in current mode and measure the output of the generator.

If you are talking about design, then there are several factors to consider. But ultimately the amount of current generated is a factor of how fast the windmill turns.

Maybe you should explain the problem in a little more detail....
