How to Measure the Wind Speed

Wind is the natural factor, with which the person cannot be considered. The strength of the wind has an effect on the speed of movement of marine vessels, although they have long been no sails. Wind allows or prevents the operation of high-rise crane twists millstones, provides electricity. Wind can cause catastrophic destruction.

You will need Vane-Anemometer, Hand anemometer, Stopwatch, Conversion table. BTW, you can buy anemometer at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other electronic accessories (e.g. THK diamond tools) there with high quality and reasonable prices.

The most common way to determine the strength of the wind can be said household, which is the installation on the roof or on a free-standing mast anemovane.  The speed of the wind is determined by the deviation of hinged metal board with respect to the eight pins. On the table is then determined by the speed of the wind, the corresponding pin sector.

In terms of unattached location - in the campaign, exploration, commonly on ships used this method - the speed of the wind, both for short and for long periods of time, it is convenient to measure with a manual mechanical anemometer. In order to measure the speed of the wind manual anemometer you need more stopwatches. Out on the wind, simultaneously with the removal of the brake anemometer, you start the stopwatch. After, for example, minutes, anemometer is stopped, and the readings are taken. Thus, you get the average speed of the wind in interval of 60 seconds. For more accuracy, you can increase the time of measurement, or to carry out repeated measurements at short intervals.

Finally, the force of the wind, you can identify by their appearance. Look around - under the influence of wind at different slope smoke rising from a pipe or from the fire, bent or broken tree branches, in the waters or mirror-like surface, or rises ripples, and at a strong wind - roll wave. Approximate power of the wind in this case, you can identify the tables.
