Animation speed and power, not linear proportion

Post by darkfrei »

It would be good if the electric power interface make its animation not linear.

Why? As you know, power is a function of speed^2. So, if the wind turbine has 1 rotation per second, it makes 1 kW of electric energy. By 2 rotations per second it will be 4 kW.
If the wind turbine has 10 rotations per second, it makes 100 kW!
But now the animation speed and power have linear graph.

Please add to eei the property, that the animation speed will be same as square root of power production.

As you can see, the speed is not synced to power, but the power has quadratic dependence from speed.
