The present invention relates to a wind measurement device or anemometer. The device is constructed to be more compact, rigid and robust than said anemometers presenting spinning cups and a moving wind vain. Load cells (22,24) are used to measure wind speed through x and y axis captured by a sphere (110) mounted on the upper load cell. The base and outer cover (28) is mounted to the inner lower load cell. Wind forces pressing against the sphere (110) can be accurately measured to wind velocity. Due to the symmetric roundness and geometry of the exposed sphere (110), a consistent wind reading can be achieved regardless of the prevailing wind angle. |
