Tools for measuring rpm (revolutions per minute) of a rotating device

You can also use a digital bicycle speedometer and do the math for the
diameter of your wheel.

When you have magnets involved in your rotating device, a magnet-based tachometer will most likely not work because the magnets in your system will drown out the magnet of the tachometer (e.g. in a bicycle speedometer).

There are Optical Tachometer kits for $28, you might be able to get them
cheaper if you look around, or there may be a circuit diagram that it posted
to build it from scratch.
Here is the link to a kit..

Also I bought an optical tachometer on eBay for $50, so that is a source as
well.
