   Anemometer
   An anemometer is a device for measuring the strength and velocity of wind. It was invented by Wolfius in 1709. The hemispherical cup anemometer (still used today) was invented in 1846 by Robinson and consists of four hemispherical cups which rotate horizontally with the wind, and a combination of wheels which record the number of revolutions in a given time.

    Anemometer
    An `anemometer` is a device for measuring wind speed, and is one instrument used in a weather station. The term is derived from the Greek word, `anemos`, meaning wind. Anemometers can be divided into two classes: those that measure the velocity of the wind, and those that measure the pressure of the wind, but as there is a close connection between the pressure and the velocity and a suitable anemometer of either class will give information about...

    Anemometer
    Mechanical instrument used to measure wind speed. These instruments commonly employee three methods to measure this phenomenon: 1) A device with three or four open cups attached to a rotating spinal. The speed of rotation is then converted into a measurement of wind speed; 2) A pressure plate that measures the force exerted by the moving wind at r...
