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 ...

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. — Meteorologists all over the world use a wide variety of instruments to measure things like temperature, air pressure, humidity and a host of other variables. In Tuesday's ...

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 ...

Researchers have unveiled a pioneering breeze wake-up anemometer (B-WA), employing a rolling-bearing triboelectric nanogenerator (RB-TENG) that provides a new strategy for low-energy consumption ...

Problem: build a combined anemometer and wind vane where the pivots for both sensors are coaxial. Solution: turn an old universal motor into a step-wise potentiometer for the wind vane, and then pull ...

Engineers have designed and successfully tested a more efficient wind sensor for use on drones, balloons and other autonomous aircraft. Engineers have designed and successfully tested a more efficient ...

Engineers have developed a wind sensor for drones and autonomous aircraft that is lightweight, low-energy, low-drag and more sensitive to changes in pressure than conventional types. As demand for ...
