Building a wind simulator. Control amount of electricity??
I have about 20 6" fans that i'd like to mount to something in which I can control electricity to each fan and essentially simulate wind.
I looked at light DMX controllers for DJ's and that would be perfect except the electricty going to each fan will be a variable all the time.
Just like wind, there would be LARGE increases of electricty simulating a gust of wind, and on nice sunny days would just be a calm flow of air.
I know it is something easy I just can't think of the correct terminology to describe it.
Also, each fan will have its own speed, one fan may be full blast and the next may be at the very minimum. I'd also like to see it go in a wave, so the first 3 will be full blast, then in a few seconds they would shift right. so the first fan would slow down and the next 3 would be full blast.
I'd like to be able to run a program or program some type of controller that will give me 3 different days and be able to turn off.
Hopefully this is descriptive enough.
Thanks in advance.
