About This Product
The model shows how a cup anemometer turns the motion of air into rotation, so that faster airflow gives faster spinning. With a separate counter or timer, a class can count rotations, work out rotational frequency and relate it to wind speed, or set the model beside a wind vane as part of a model weather station. The Anemometer Model can be supplied on export terms to Belgium, United Arab Emirates, Eswatini, Cameroon, São Tomé and Príncipe and Lebanon.
