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 ...

So you’ve just taken apart a hard drive, and you’re looking at all the pieces on your desktop. You’re somehow compelled to use them all in different projects. Why not pull out that very high quality ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The AN200 cfm/cmm thermo-anemometer plus IR thermometer is a patent-pending device that provides simultaneous large display of airflow or air velocity and ambient temperature. The IR thermometer ...

The Model 451189 thermo-anemometer displays both air flow or air velocity and temperature in CFM or CM units with up to eight-point averaging for both flow and velocity. Air velocity measurements are ...

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 ...

Wind speed measurement has long been a cornerstone of meteorological observation, renewable energy assessment and aeronautical research. The performance of anemometers—devices designed to accurately ...
