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 ...

Around 1450, Leon Battista Alberti developed the first known mechanical anemometer, using a swinging plate to measure wind ...

An anemometer is a tool used to measure wind speed. It has three or four cups attached to horizontal arms and when the wind blows, the cups rotate around. The stronger the wind blows, the faster the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Thermistors use a thermally active resistor made of metal oxides encased in epoxy or glass. The resistance output varies based on temperature. A more accurate thermister will vary linearly throughout ...

Have you ever wondered how fast the wind is blowing when gusty winds are in the forecast? Meteorologists use an anemometer, a device that measures wind speed, to figure out how fast the wind is ...

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 ...
