Use an anemometer, a device that turns when the wind blows against it. If properly calibrated, the rate of turning will tell you how fast the wind is blowing.

Can You calculate the velocity of a fart?

Generally wind speed is measured using a cup anemometer (wind speed measuring device). The velocity of a flatulation will decrease as it leaves the anus, so to properly measure the velocity the measurement would have to be done before the exit. Theoretically you could measure the velocity of the gases by placing a miniature cup anemometer with walls inside the rectal tract close to the anus to give an approximate wind speed (velocity) of the gases.

Wind velocity may be roughly indicated by?

Wind velocity can be roughly indicated by observing the movement of trees, flags, or smoke. Additionally, windsocks at airports and visual observations of how objects are being affected by the wind can provide an indication of its velocity. Meteorological instruments such as anemometers are also used to measure wind speed accurately.


What is an anemoeter?

An anemometer is a device used to measure the speed of wind. It typically consists of a set of cups that spin in the wind, and the speed of rotation is used to calculate the wind speed. It is commonly used in weather stations and on aircraft.
