Bird Bath 3 - more data and start of Windmill Build

After some basic measurements on the Nic-chrome wire, that I harvested from a hair curler, I found:
  • Wire is 36 AWG (5 mil measured by micrometer)
  • Length - 76cm
  • Resistance 74.2 Ohm for entire length
I did some further measurements to determine resistance related to length of wire as well as current draw per length of wire (with stepper motor spinning at 1630 RPM):
