I am doing a math project. Our goal is to use Mathematica to design some small wind turbine blades, 3D print them, and then attaching it to a small dc motor. I did something very similar for science Olympiad, where we had been measuring the "power" by measuring the voltage between the two wires coming out of the dc motor.
All we cared about was increasing the power output, so it didn't matter that we didn't know the resistance in the multimeter.
I may need some actual numbers for the project, so in this case, do I put a resistor between the two wires, measure the voltage drop, and use V^2/R?
Thanks
