Thermistors use a thermally active resistor made of metal oxides encased in epoxy or glass. The resistance output varies based on temperature. A more accurate thermister will vary linearly ...

Les: The wind can either be blowing straight down the ... You know, as a forced vector, so the direction and the intensity that it's coming at will determine how much input we have to put into ...

To measure wind speed and direction, most people turn the traditional cup anemometer and wind vane. Another less-known method is to use an array of ultrasonic transducers, which doesn’t need any ...
