Anemometer - What Is It & How Does It Work?

Anemometers and how they work is the first our weather week series at SwitchDoc Labs. What are anemometers and how the heck do you even say it?
What we're gonna talk about is how this measures wind speed, how it actually works and how a computer can tell. And then we're also going to talk about other ways you can measure the wind with other kinds of instruments, which are some of which are pretty doggone cool.

My science teacher assigned this, and I’m so glad I watched it! It was helpful but also funny

[@oj8289]

the same exact reason i came here

[@kanmoninm5721]

This is fantastic

[@wfr2799]

this is fantastic!

I have the same anemometer - and it makes 2 clicks per 1 rotation

[@Switchdoc]

That is correct. Two clicks per one rotation.

How are after 3 year may god bless you and give you the long live ..good video thanks a lot .. I am from india

[@Mr.RustyVR]

good video. It help a lot!

[@damanicurtis3690]

Very good it helped a lot

I liked the anenometer part, sorry parts, what it does? Gives anonymity?

[@fotanor]

ANEMOMETER= ANEMO+METER.
Greek words that means meausure the wind.
ANEMOS=WIND and METRO=METER
:-)

[@rajathav3159]

Hey John! I have a doubt. Doesn't how fast the thing rotates actually depend on the material with which its made? For the same dimension, would the one made of material with higher density would weigh more and hence rotate slowly?

[@Switchdoc]

Yes, it depends on the weight and what you are using for bearings.

[@rajathav3159]

@@Switchdoc So we get different wind speeds from the calculations using different materials. Which one of these do we take and why?

[@Switchdoc]

@@rajathav3159 You calibrate your set to figure out what your wind speed is.

She is cool

[@kanmoninm5721]

For this easy

[@mackeverhart6845]

I have a solar tracking unit, It has +,-,Signal for the anemometer input. The anemometer that I have only has two wires. (Red, Green) How do I hook it up???? Can you help???

[@Switchdoc]

Mack, I missed your email. Probably Red is + and Green is -.

[@brantvollendorf9543]

I love piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie

[@brantvollendorf9543]

Awesome joke 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrRajMehta]

How tough could it be to say "Anemometer"?
I said it in the first go, and English is not even my first language.
