  • but how do i know how many km/h the wind is, if i have 1 revolution???

  • @raoul0071

    To determine this, first calculate the circumference of the circle made by the rotating cups. Then convert this to miles by dividing the number of inches by 12 to get feet and then dividing that number by 5,280 (the number of feet in a mile). Multiply this number by revolutions per minute. Finally, divide by 60 (to convert minutes to hours) and you will have the velocity at which the anemometer is spinning (in mph). Now convert the miles to km's.

    Good luck!

    Yes plastic cups will work too. Make sure you have a permanent marker so that it works on plastic. Good luck!
