A video of a tree blowing in the wind is played at the speed that the wind would rustle it if it were a real tree outside the gallery. To attempt this project I reverted to the Arduino board that I researched for a previous project. The Arduino board allows me to read an analogue value and transform it into a digital reading on the computer.

I have built a windmill using scrap wood and a medium sized electric motor, This electric motor when spun by an external force produces a small voltage (0.1 - 4.0 V) this voltage passes down the wires and into the gallery were it meets the Arduino board. (continued on next photo)
