That is truly amazing! In a controlled environment such as a wind tunnel, they can survive. Out in the field usually there are bursts of wind from multiple directions that contribute to eventual failure. Debris/ice adds to this when the wind exceeds 100 mph, as does time and load to the bearings. I have seen many anemometers that last 20-50 yrs, however keep in mind that these are inland sensors or the higher quality models. This model is currently being used on Mt. Washington. Great quality!
Around the end there the cups almost looked holographic.

Yeah. It almost seems like it's not moving when it gets up to about 100 mph. Great video!
