  • nice caps

  • We have a school project to do and was wondering how exactly u made it??

  • @d3cole Right below the "video window" there is a tab labeled "show more". Click on that and some of the details are in there. If you need more info. let me know. It is very heavy duty. It took a bit of trial and error to get it properly balanced. It has only been down one time so I could paint it (last year). Other than that, it has worked flawlessly and I use it daily. We get lots of wind in our area.

  • could u have given any more detail psshhh?!? :(

  • تمام عليك

    مشكور

  • I want to say that you did the best job building that then any I have ever seen. I'm a Meteorologist of 24 years and you could nearly start your own manufacturing if you wanted to. PVC is very tough and durable. I never knew they made caps that were rounded to fabricate something like that. I do know certain common sizes for the wheel that if built the particular diameter what RPM = MPH for calibration. For wind direction you can also use an AC synchro repeater, pot or reed switches.

  • very smart.

  • Awesome video... is the potentiometer installed yet? I think i may build my own thanks for the idea!!

  • how to calibrate that bike computer?

  • That is Awesome

  • this has inspired me that anemometer you made

    could be sold someplace and the money for new parts and make more anemometers and you could make a web site and go into buisness and become a weather company like inspeed

    and make lots of money your products could

    be used for research storm chasers or just an

    everyday hobby because that anemometer looked real and manufactured good work if you become

    a company i will be a coustmer

  • Nice job. Love seeing this kind of stuff. Are you going to put up a wind gen after the weather station is done?

  • Thanks! I'm working on the wind gen. now. Just a basic unit with an Ametek 50(long body). Ultimately I want to build an axial flux type. I just do not have the time right now. I'll put up a better video of the anemometer soon. This one is too dark.

  • You can calibrate from riding in your car on a calm day!

  • I think it was 1320 on the BC 1200. I will have to look again. I have since used a BC 800 as well. Both have been calibrated against an analog hand held and a davis instruments anemometer. Very accurate and much more durable than the Davis.

  • Thats a great looking bit of kit you have built there? What diameter wheel setting do you use on the Sigma?
