An anemometer is a device that tells you how fast the wind is blowing. The device you can build is a model of a wind speed indicator. A real one will be able to accurately measure how fast the wind is blowing. Yours will give you only approximation of how fast it's blowing.

Anemometer is also known as a wind vane ... Wind velocity or speed is measured by a cup anemometer, an instrument with three or four small hollow metal hemispheres set so that they catch the wind and revolve about a vertical rod. An electrical device records the revolutions of the cups and calculates the wind velocity.

Weather Scope: An Investigative Study of Weather and Climate ... The instrument used to measure wind speed is called an anemometer, which is an indicator that will spin in the wind. The anemometer rotates at the same speed as the wind. It gives a direct measure of the speed of the wind.

Cup-anemometer by Munro 1870 ... A Robinson Cup-anemometer was first erected on the roof of the Observatory in 1846. However, regular meteorological observations had commenced in 1795. In 1867, when the Board of Trade decided to establish seven first class meteorological stations throughout the British Isles,

The anemometer measures wind speed. A simple anemometer made with cups shows if the wind speed is fast or slow. The electronic model can accurately show the speed of the wind in miles per hour or knots. There is a free moving turbine suspended in the middle of the anemometer.

The cups of the anemometer are made from the aluminum. Cut 2 circles about 4" in diameter. Cut these circles in half along the diagonal. Join the straight edges with aluminum solder, malting 4 small cups.
