I found this for RPM?

 Ok I found a possible solution to cheap rpm reading.

  I haven't tested it, nor do I endorse  it. But hey for 5 bucks it has rpm readings, so no conversion from a MPH reading needed?

 I could see this as a cheap solution for windmills, or even building a home brewed anemometer. Ordered one to play with..
