Anemometer

An anemometer is an instrument used to measure the speed of wind at a

particular place. Leon Battista Alberti, an Italian scientist, invented the
anemometer in 1450. It is made up of cups which rotate when the wind blows;
the faster the wind blows, the faster they rotate. It measures the wind speed in
Feet per Minute (FPM).
PARTS & WORKING:
Cups are the main part of an anemometer. The 4-cup anemometer is the most
common type of anemometer. The cups are connected together to a rod which is
then connected to a magnet, and a counter which counts the number of times the
magnet has turned, thereby giving the speed of the wind after a while to find the
average.
