and for wind speed and direction the choice is usually a simple cup anemometer and wind vane. For [Jianjia Ma]’s QingStation, he decided to build another type of wind sensor: An ultrasonic ...

To measure wind speed and direction, most people turn the traditional ... anemometer using a cheap after-market parking distance sensor kit and an Arduino. Demo video after the break.

The sensor has a dielectric polymer layer ... the wind is coming from and the value for the maximum wind speed. The output for direction is an analog voltage signal directly proportional to ...

Powered entirely by the sun, it has no moving parts: the rain gauge is a haptic sensor on the top, and wind speed and direction are measured sonically. Lightning detection is also the best for any ...

Reliable wind direction data is crucial for achieving maximum available energy. In addition to excellent measurement accuracy, the correct sensor alignment is critical for high-quality wind ...
