What is the Anemometer device?
Have you ever wondered about this fan-like thing that you often find on the rooftops of office buildings? What is its benefit and why is it installed in the first place? All of these questions will be answered in this brief article.
What is an anemometer?
This device is called an anemometer, and it is written in French: Anemometre. It is a device designed to measure wind speed and also to know wind direction. It is installed on administrative buildings and naval ships, as well as on some factories to know the speed and direction of the wind, and it often comes with sensors to measure air humidity as well.
Uses of the Anemometre device?
Anemometer is used in many things, the most important of which are marine ships, control towers, poultry factories and laboratories in general. It is also used in airports and by air conditioning maintenance technicians (it is a small portable device like an amphometer). As previously mentioned, this device informs you of the speed and direction of the wind, as well as measuring the percentage of humidity in the air.
What is the benefit of the Anemometre device?
The benefit of the anemometer is evident in knowing the percentage of humidity in the air and knowing the strength and speed of the wind, so that you have a background on the daily weather, and this is very useful, especially in airports and on marine and commercial ships, as it is considered a type of weather forecaster.
How does an anemometer work?
This device is equipped with an internal fan connected to a special motor, so that when the speed and strength of the wind increases, this fan rotates at a certain speed and this data is read by the Microcontroller so that this data comes out to you in the form of correct numbers for the wind speed, and this fan was designed specifically so that With the lowest wind speed, it rotates, even if slowly, and with regard to humidity, a humidity sensor has been placed. We have previously presented a separate topic explaining in detail the electronic sensors, including the humidity sensor. I will leave you all the links in the middle of the topic in a feature that you may also like.
And here we have finished explaining today’s topic, which was about the Anemometer, its use and benefit, and how it works.
