Anemometer from CDROM motor, and plastic Easter egg halves
Getting the CDROM apart is not too bad, and you will find there are 3 motors in one of these guys. One for the tray to come in and out, one to spin the CD and one to move the laser back and forth. All had a different form factor, All could have been used (meaning the generated current when spun) and two looked suitable for the anemometer, as they had a good gear hub on the shaft. I liked the tray motor as it slip fits inside a 1/2 inch PVC pipe perfectly once the pipe was drilled out slightly using the 5/8 inch drill.by cedestra The science of weather is a fascinating one; but even more so are the flukes and irregularities that can occur within our world.
