An anemometer is a device that measures wind speed. While we used and demonstrated a hand-held anemometer to the third graders at Pine Island Elementary School, we should note that there are much ...
This anemometer measures wind speed and direction through a precision-balanced propeller and vane system. What sets it apart is its ceramic bearings, which are more wear- and corrosion-resistant ...
On Earth, human-built wind tunnels can create supersonic winds, defined as faster than 761.2 mph (1,225 kmh) at sea level.
With just a few simple steps, you can measure temperature, rain totals and wind speed from your own home or business. WRAL meteorologist Kat Campbell explains how to build your own weather station ...
These would not be the first to take the Martian wind speed, to be clear, as landers have done that for quite some time. Even Viking 1 managed to grab some Martian wind measurements nearly fifty ...
The sensor on that equipment that measures wind speed was developed by a team at the Mount Washington Observatory. Keith Garrett, the observatory’s technology director, ...
Researchers have tested a suite of anemometers — tools that measure wind speeds — designed to operate on the surface of Mars. These would not be the first to take the Martian wind speed, to be ...
