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 ...

In Aug. 2024, a team of NASA researchers and partners gathered in Missoula, to test new drone-based technology for localized ...

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 ...

Read Pilot in command Brayden Chamberlain performs pre-flight checks on the NASA Alta X quadcopter during the FireSense ...

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 ...

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.
