Ultrasonic anemometers have no moving parts but come at the cost of significantly more electronic complexity. They work by measuring the time it takes for an ultrasonic audio pulse to be reflected ...

Inevitably, mistakes happen, Mother Nature intervenes, and balloons go off the prescribed path through New York.

While the lack of moving parts are nice, ultrasonic anemometers are significantly more complex on the software and electronics side, and a DIY cup and vane anemometer is still a viable alternative.

Not kept standard aboard vessel. MASTS - Roger Revelle has a mainmast, and a jackstaff. The main mast, above the pilot house, carries radar antennas, navigation lights, various antennas, the ship's ...

On Earth, human-built wind tunnels can create supersonic winds, defined as faster than 761.2 mph (1,225 kmh) at sea level.

Before Aeolus, wind profiles were obtained via a hotchpotch of methods - from whirling anemometers, balloons and planes to the satellites that infer wind behaviour by tracking clouds in the sky or ...

Anemometers and accelerometers were placed to record wind velocities, wind angles, and span movement. Only time would tell how the bridge would do. On February 9, 1938, the bridge passed its first ...

Two 75 W PV panels powered the TER and the STS. The STS, made from cast iron, bearings, anemometers, gears, and motor systems, allowed the PV panels to track the sun's position throughout the day ...

You can do a lot of really interesting analysis of data or anemometers for really granular wind measurements across farms. There’s a lot of really interesting, but I guess what we would consider ...

As Guyana transitions from fossil fuel to renewable energy, British High Commissioner to Guyana, Jane Miller, believes that there is massive potential for the development of wind energy in the country ...

The very human practice of giving names to cyclones, storms and hurricanes – despite the devastation they may wreak – dates back to the 1500s, even though we have only become adept at predicting their ...
