Old Venta Indoor Trainer - Working out Resistance?

Hi Folks

I'm the kind of person who likes playing around combining different bits of Old Skool and newish tech (just for the heck of it, and 'cause I'm pretty much retired).

As a result, I've now got an old Venta indoor trainer, with a Wahoo Blue FC sensor set on the bike. Sensors work well, and add to the 'enjoyment' that is indoor training in the winter.

While I understand that, with a wind trainer, the amount of resistance is relative to the speed of the fans, I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to confirm the amount of resistance, perhaps through some formula relating to speed?

I suspect it's not going to be that simple, but ya gotta start somewhere
