When you think anemometer, you probably don’t think “load cell” — but (statistically speaking) you probably don’t live in Hurricane Country, which is hard on wind-speed-measuring-whirligigs. When ...

How fast is the wind blowing where you live? As we see on “Weather Hunters,” meteorologists use a tool called an anemometer to measure wind speed. Anemometers work because they have arms with cup-like ...

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 ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known for less ...

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 ...

Sometimes, it’s nice to know how windy it is outside. Knowing the direction of the wind can be a plus, too. To that end, [Sebastian Sokołowski] built himself an unusual anemometer—a wind gauge—to feed ...

During a recent interview with Chrissy Teigen, Vice President Kamala Harris said, “I’m going to confess, I love Venn diagrams. If you’re ever in a moment of conflict, pull out a Venn diagram, they’ll ...

Firstly, consider the purpose of your diagram. Are you trying to show a process, illustrate a relationship, or compare data? Your goal will determine the type of diagram you choose, be it a flowchart, ...

Anemometers are an important category of environmental sensor. Articles about their design, data capture, and linearization have comprised topics featured in EDN Design Ideas, several quite recently.
