The wind controls the speed of rotation of the arms of an anemometer and this can be electrically converted to a measuring pointer to indicate wind speed.
The discovery of the anemometer is attributed to Leon Battista Alberti, an Italian Renaissance man who introduced the first mechanical anemometer in the 15th century. Anemometers are used to measure wind speed and direction.
An anemometer is an instrument used to measure wind speed and direction. It typically consists of rotating cups or blades that spin in the wind, with the speed of rotation correlating to wind velocity. This data is crucial for various applications, including meteorology, aviation, and environmental monitoring, as it helps in understanding weather patterns and atmospheric conditions.
An anemometer measures wind speed by detecting the rotation caused by the wind on its cups or blades. The speed at which the cups or blades rotate is converted into wind speed readings that can be displayed on a gauge or electronic display.
An anemometer is the easiest and best way. To tell how fast the speed is using an anemometer, determine how fast the anemometer is spinning with a speedometer if possible.

Homemade Anemometer v professional one? The main difference will be accuracy, closely followed by durability and then aesthetics. The accuracy can be improved by calibrating it with a reliable known source. You could try sticking it out of a car window and move at different speeds. The accuracy could be affected by slipstream past the car and how accurate is the car's speedo. Check it against a satnav and make sure you pick a flat calm day, with no other wind.
Some of the common instruments found in a weather station include; a barometer, an anemometer, a thermometer, and a hygrometer. A weather station is basically a compilation of weather-measuring instruments placed on the same place.
