Anemometer Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-ES-11429
Description:
The Educational Instruments Anemometer Model is a dedicated piece of Physics Science educational laboratory equipment designed to visually and practically demonstrate the principle used to measure wind speed and airflow in meteorology. This teaching apparatus is essential for Earth Science and Physics labs, providing a hands-on understanding of weather instrument operation.
The model features a classic four-cup rotor system mounted on a central shaft.2 This rotating structure, which spans 30 centimeters in width, is fixed to a stable 6-inch round plastic base. Its lightweight, durable construction makes it safe, portable, and ideal for classroom demonstrations and student projects focused on atmospheric science and environmental monitoring.3
Product Usage:
The Anemometer Model is crucial for teaching how kinetic energy from moving air is converted into rotational motion, a measure directly related to the wind speed.
Demonstrating Wind Velocity Measurement: The primary usage is to show students how wind fills the cups, causing the shaft to spin. Students can qualitatively Observe the relationship: faster airflow leads to faster rotation.
Airflow and Energy Transfer: The model illustrates the concept of kinetic energy transfer from the wind to the apparatus, helping students understand the physics behind harnessing wind power.
Weather Station Simulation: It serves as a simplified, functional component of a model weather station, allowing students to integrate it with other instruments (like a model wind vane) to study atmospheric data collection.
Hands-on Experimentation: With the addition of simple counting or timing mechanisms (external to the model), instructors can guide students through activities to calibrate the model, calculating the rotational frequency and relating it to a simulated wind speed.
Educational Applications & Learning Goals:
This Anemometer Model supports hands-on learning in Earth Science, Environmental Science, and Physics:
Understanding Atmospheric Variables: Grasping the definition and importance of wind speed in weather forecasting and climate studies.
Mechanism of Measurement: Learning the engineering design of a cup anemometer—the standard instrument used by meteorological organizations worldwide.
