Electrical Circuits

11/11/2010 2:01 PM

Hello there.

I am a stupid Person who does not know anything about electrical circuits, and i was hoping for some help.

If you are up to the challenge, I need a circuit like this:

1. a circuit that will show an amount of energy, such as from a wind turbine, and display a certain series of lights depending on the speed

2. one that will only show one set of lights at a time

3. please make it comprehensible.

Thank you for your help, and advice would be wonderful.

Hello Juice.

I was with you, right up until I hit your offensive remark at #3.

Best of luck in your search. Perhaps someone will help.

I recommend that you hire somebody to build this system for you. There are just so many little things that one must know to build even the simplest circuitry. I could draw you a schematic, but from your claimed experience you would likely not even know what any of the symbols meant.

Whenever possible, resort to an off-the-shelf solution. Possibly the least expensive, least headaches and odds are good that the product will have a great fit and finish.

Otherwise known as the "KISS" principle.
