Re: Mechanical Question about project Urgent!

An important question is, do you have a little turbine, or a big turbine?

My initial suggestion is to use an inductance coil meter. It's one of those claw looking things you put around wires, and it uses an inductance loop to measure various things. Typically a little more capable than a multi-meter, and you won't hurt it by over-current.

But, if it's small, a multi is fine.
