Cup Anemometer with Analog Display
Product Code : EL-PMP-10409
Quick answer: The cup anemometer with analog display measures wind speed and shows it on a moving meter. Three plastic cups on a vertical spindle turn on ball bearings, and their rotation drives the meter needle, giving a direct reading without timing. It is portable for classroom demonstrations and outdoor field work. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the analog anemometer is used
The three-cup rotor turns because the open face of each cup catches more wind than its rounded back. As the wind strengthens the rotor spins faster, and in this model the spindle drives a meter needle across a scale. A dial reading is useful in teaching because students can watch the needle rise and fall with each gust, which makes the changing nature of wind easy to see.
- Choose an exposed position where the wind is not blocked by walls or trees.
- Keep the spindle upright so all three cups turn freely.
- Wait for the needle to settle, then read the scale with the eye square to the dial to avoid parallax.
- Note the highest and lowest needle positions over a minute to record gusts as well as the mean.
- Compare readings taken at different sites or heights.

Frequently asked questions
How is wind speed shown on this anemometer?
On a moving analog meter: the rotation of the three cups drives the needle across the scale.
Should a school choose the analog or the digital display version?
Both read wind speed directly. The analog dial lets students watch gusts as needle movement, while the digital version gives a numeric value that is quicker to record.
