mISSION: TO build an anemometer

ANEMOMETER

This is a model of anemometer made with plastic spoons

This is a weather station we use to measure not only the wind speed but also the temperature, rain, the direction of the wind...

WEATHER STATION

The basic model acts as a stand-alone lesson or can be enhanced with two variations of connected anemometers. The basic model supports students in mathematically determining wind speed. Students use a stopwatch while counting the revolutions of the anemometer, then use math to determine the wind speed.

BASIC ANEMOMETER

We measure the number of rotations in 10 seconds in order to calculate the rotational or angular speed, Then we will get the linear speed.

Measure of wind speed

DATA:Number of rotations: 16 rotations in 10 seconds Rotations per second: : 1,6 rotations PER secondRotational circumference: 3.14 x the diameter of wind cup structure = 5.39 cm Distance traveled per second: 1,6 rotations PER second·75.39 cm = 120.624cmDistance traveled in one hour: 434246.4cmWind speed in km/hr: 434246.4cm/100000 = 4,34km/h

GROUP B

How can we improve the basic anemometer?

INFO

This project focuses on building anemometers to measure wind speed from everyday materials. It starts with a simple mechanical engineering problem, then progresses to include electrical and software engineering tasks. The sensor-enabled anemometer captures and displays data in Microsoft Excel.

These are the data we got:

we use arduino uno
