Model 27005T UVW Anemometer

R.M. Young
The Gill UVW Anemometer measures the three orthogonal vectors of the wind: along wind component "U", across wind component "V", and vertical wind component "W". The three Propeller Anemometer sensors are mounted at right angles on a common mast. Each sensor measures the wind component parallel with its axis of rotation. Propeller response as a function of wind angle approximates the cosine law, allowing true wind velocity and direction to be calculated. The UVW Anemometer is designed for maximum sensitivity at lower wind speeds. Optional carbon fiber thermoplastic (CFT) propellers are available for applications requiring greater range and durability. Rain and dust are excluded from the precision bearings by a continuous duty air blower that keeps the instrument under a slight positive pressure. The Propeller Anemometer is a precision air speed measuring instrument. The four blade helicoid propeller drives a miniature tach-generator. Output voltage is directly proportional to the axial component of the wind speed. Signal polarity indicates direction of propeller rotation. The Propeller Anemometer is also available with single or dual direction photochopper transducer. The Propeller Anemometer is especially suited for measuring the vertical wind componenet. Since normal wind direction seldom exceeds ±30º from horizontal, propeller response can be calibrated to follow the cosine law within 3% over this range.

Model 81000V Ultrasonic Wind Sensor

R.M. Young
The YOUNG Model 81000V Ultrasonic Anemometer is a 3-dimensional, no-moving-parts wind sensor. 2-D anemometers meet the need for economy, however, they ignore the important vertical wind component. The YOUNG Model 81000V offers an economical solution that provides a complete picture of the wind. For applications requiring synchronized analog measurements, Model 81000V includes 4 voltage input channels instead of voltage outputs.

Model 06201 Wind tracker.

R.M. Young
The new Wind Tracker wind speed and wind direction indicator offers big performance in a compact display. Wind speed is displayed in your choice of units: KNOTS, MPH, KM/H, M/S. Maximum wind speed is saved on the display until reset by the operator. Wind direction information is clearly displayed on a circular compass pattern of LEDs. Multicolored segments give a quick visual indication of current direction and direction variability. Front panel brightness control allows adjustment for best viewing in any light.
