Haha probably too many! Good one though! Kind of important since time is kind of our master! This is a good one too! Have always wanted to get one of these! Thanks!

I have an oscilloscope. Forgot to add that one. I'd love to get a high speed camera but the prices of that are way out of range.. (I think?) I'd be interested in laser timing gates but that sounds like it'd be more fun to build than buy. (I'm sure purchased have a lot better calibration...

Ahh, yes. A theodolite. How could I have forgotten that one! lol

Ah, Ah, check on both of those, forgot to list them though! Thanks!

I love measuring and quantifying the world. I'm curious if I'm missing any good, essential tools. I'm also curious of some good, affordable fill-ins for some measurement capabilities that I may be missing. I currently have: Laser Distance Measure Radar gun Scales IR Temp Sensor pH Meter...

That's kind of my only lead so far. I've never gone to a junk yard so I don't really know how it works but that's my thought as well. Guess I'll start looking around and see what junk yards are around here.

That's very helpful! Thanks for the information! This is what I was picturing! Thanks! I wish there was a way to get my hands on some tiny turbocharger or something like that to fiddle with and inspect haha. I'd expect that I can but not cheaply..

Honestly I'm not completely sure. It's more of just a basic interest. I've been reading about turbochargers and wanted to fiddle with air movement but have no money lol I was hoping for something like breath power able as ridiculous as that might sound ... Hope that helps a little. The basis...

That should give me a great start! Thank you much!

Is there such thing as a turbine that increases air speed/compression? This seems like a dumb question but I'm having a heck of a time locating any information on it because any iteration of "air turbine" entered into Google just brings up information about wind mills. I'm looking for something...
