Weather stations are a popular project for experimenting with various environmental sensors, and for wind speed and direction the choice is usually a simple cup anemometer and wind vane. For [Jianjia ...

To measure wind speed and direction, most people turn the traditional cup anemometer and wind vane. Another less-known method is to use an array of ultrasonic transducers, which doesn’t need any ...

Above: The Mount Washington Observatory on an icy winter day. It was here that a wind gust of 231 mph was measured on April 12, 1934. It remained the highest-ever anemometer-measured wind gust on ...

If you are interested in creating a DIY Arduino wind speed meter or anemometer to monitor the wind strength in your location, you might be interested in this quick tutorial I have put together to ...

Today's kids want to know question is one you might ask if you look out the window. If you see the trees moving, you might wonder how fast the wind's blowing. The way to figure that out is with a tool ...

This self-heated constant-temperature-delta transistor anemometer is cheap, rugged, and sensitive. It relies on the relationship between airspeed (AF) and thermal impedance (ZT = o C/W) of a heated ...

Awhile back I published a simple design idea for a thermal airspeed sensor based on a self-heated Darlington transistor pair. The resulting sensor is simple, sensitive, and solid-state, but suffers ...

Description: The PAV5000 series MEMS anemometer sensor is fully calibrated and temperature-compensated for easy integration into portable anemometers and fixed in-duct air velocity monitors for the ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract An investigation is made into the design and performance of "staggered" 6-cup anemometers. It is found that the optimum cup arm radius to cup ...
