Re: [RCSE] "spining spoons" Wind meter
Just go to www.google.comand type in anemometer. Or go here for a company selling them.

Re: [RCSE] "spining spoons" Wind meter
I have some scans of a RS project that shows how to make your own. It does require that you have Adobe Acrobat to view. http://216.117.88.120/whirlwinds/projects.htm CU, Drew Jorge Elizondo Margain wrote: > I've been searching the net to try to find a wind meter of thee "three > spoons" kind; something that we can take to the slope with us. > > I've seen pictures in QFI magazine of a portable, brick-size unit with the > "spinning spoons" on top and a big 2-digit LCD display.

Re: [RCSE] "spining spoons" Wind meter
Quite a while ago (and I can't remeber where), someone posted a link about making this sort of spinning windmeter that used a bicycle speedometer for the readout. It seemed pretty clever.

Re: [RCSE] "spining spoons" Wind meter
That sounds like something good to experiment with. I wonder if the back EMF generated by the motor would have to be compensated for when doing the speed calculations in light vs. strong wind. And, what's an easy way of calibrating the device if you don't already have a wind meter? - Original Message - From: "tony estep" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 3:26 PM Subject: Re: [RCSE] "spining spoons" Wind meter > > You can make one out of a little electric motor, three half-ping-pong > balls, and a milliammeter with a pot in series with it to provide > calibration.
