week 3

Assalamualaikum to all viewers. This is the updated for our FYP. We are being supervised by our lecturer madam Norhaslinawati Binti  Ramli lecturer of electronics section. Before we proceed to other stage of making our project we would like to briefly explain about our project and we hope it can make people understand how this project function as a title given. Firstly we would like to talk about what is wind speed meter and how many types of wind speed meter and then we will explain about the circuit functionality. A wind speed meter or other named anemometer is a device that is used to measuring a speed of wind. the word anemometer came from greek word anemos mean wind. This device is commonly used in meteorology or aerodynamics measurement instrument.   The first known description of an anemometer was given by  Leon Battista Alberti around 1450. There is two classes of anemometer. Those that measure wind speed and those that measure wind pressure but nowadays an anemometer have both information. There is a lot of anemometers :-

cup anemometers

windmill anemometers

hot wire anemometers

laser doppler anemometers

sonic anemometers

For this project we are using the cup anemometers  method in our project. Now we would like to explain how this cup anemometer functioned. An  cup anemometer uses motor   to  measure wind speed. It sends a voltage and convert in speed wind  the speed of motor . Wind speed will increase or decrease the speed of motor depending on  wind .
