====== Odd-ball notes ======

===== Polyester Dye =====

  * need to keep the fabric off the bottom of the pan, flat spots may have formed (found a small grate that will work for this)
  * need to weigh the fabric down so steam bubbles don't form lifting the fabric out of the dye (have a basket with weights that will work)
  * need to be above 100C for an extended period, ~45 minutes minimum
  * streaking seems to be limited to one side- turning cushion forms inside out might give a better result

Thinking about anemometers with no moving parts- it may be possible to use a cheap pressure sensor as a pitot tube, with a 360 degree cowling that funnels horizontal moving air upwards into the sensor (picture two smooth funnels inserted into each other).  An apparently cheap & suitable sensor for Arduino is: http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=36_68&products_id=739  Coupled with a GPS chip to get SOG & COG, apparent and real wind speed could be directly output in NMEA0183 format.  Add wind direction and done.

Pricey, but likely very useful: http://www.liquidware.com/shop/show/TSL/TouchShield+Slide

There's also: http://www.watterott.net/projects/s65-shield - but no touch.  Available at http://www.watterott.com

And the 4D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-Cf681Qurw&feature=related available here (they also have an air pressure sensor): http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=45_72&products_id=676

With a GPS sensor, can get time & speed, with the speed and wind direction & wind speed, should be able to output real wind & apparent wind speeds and direction from the single anemometer sensor already mounted.

This guy has a lot of info: https://sites.google.com/site/vilorei/index/arduino—serialgpsunit

Another possibility is hacking an Archos 5 or 7, since they run linux it should be possible to code normal apps for display- the issue is input, there's only one serial port, so some kind of NMEA multiplexer & converter to ethernet or USB might be better.  They come with GPS and accelerometers and all kinds of capabilities built-in.

There's also Android based hardware, http://antipastohw.blogspot.com/

Maybe a pitot tube can work accurately from 360 degrees?  See below:

{{:rini:pitot_anemometer_housing.png?direct&200|}}

not suitable, but a good site: http://shop.moderndevice.com/products/wind-sensor

Another thought- light-sensing for wind speed & direction? In that case no POT or essentially any connection to moving parts would be necessary.  The moving parts would simply need to be free to move, and "reading" them would be a matter of sensors.  Maybe CDS's to sense the position of the vane and the flashes of anemometer cups moving by?  A single white LED could be used for constant illumination.
