In regards to high rpm AC motors, the short answer is no. Technically, it is an inverter duty rated motor, capable of operating within a range of voltage, typically 208-230v. An rpm is predefined at 230v, and based on what voltage the VFD supplies to the motor in that operable range will determine the rpm output of the motor (about 90% minimum). Obviously with the use of gear motors or pulley systems, you can further alter the final drive output range, but that seems to be beyond the original scope of your question.
I had this nice reply all typed up, then TapaTalk crashed.
Anyhow, I purchased a roof mounted weather station late last year which is great for what it does, but it can do so much more. I was planning on taking the wind speed (say every 5 seconds) translate it to a % of power eg; 5mph = 10%. This way I can get a “rolling” or subtle erratic patterns based on current earth situations. I’ve been dabbling with Adruinos using pre-made sketches and designs and have been trying to think of my own project to attempt. Electronic or digital control would be ideal because that’s one or two less components. I can probably still incorporate a potentiometer.
I’m just not impressed with the current wave generation devices for small tanks. If I cannot get the wind data to play nicely I was also thinking of using current wave speeds.
