Or should I find / buy / designate a used / old / cheap motor for the slave?
I have seen no issues using motors as slaves. Just for testing and getting data I use the closest wind motor I have within arms length away. But if you are going to compare results later, I suggest finding slave motors for every wind that you are testing with that are dedicated. Pick up some Slot Machines!
The one thing to take into account is to be mindful of the slave you use. Higher winds = more load on the test motor. I recommend starting out with the same wind slave as the test.
And I hear my printers going nuts right now, maybe yours is being printed, lol.
