<p>An electrochemical anemometer (10 or 50) is provided for measuring electrolyte motion, e.g., relative local motion of oxygen-dissolving aqueous electrolyte, e.g., sea water or brackish water. The anemometer includes: (a) a housing (11 or 51); (b) an exposed first electrode (14 or 52), e.g., of silver, attached to the housing; (c) an exposed second electrode (13 or 53), e.g., of platinum, attached to the housing (11 or 51) and spaced apart from the first electrode (14 or 52); (d) an amplifier (110) having input and output disposed in the housing (11 or 51) and having its input connected either to the first electrode (14 or 52) or to the second electrode (13 or 53); and (e) an electrical power supply (110) to the other of the first electrode or the second electrode and to the amplifier means, and for conducting the output of the amplifier to a display for the signals of the output. In this way, the signals are proportional to the oxygen transport rates, which are, in turn, an indication of the relative electrolyte motion in the region of the electrolyte adjacent one of the electrodes.</p> |
