Cup Anemometer with Digital Display
Product Code : EL-PMP-10408
Quick answer: The cup anemometer with digital display measures wind speed and shows it directly as a number. Three cups on a vertical spindle turn on ball bearings, and the rotation drives the digital readout, so no timing or calculation is needed. It is portable for indoor demonstrations and outdoor field readings. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How it is used
Wind pushes harder on the open face of a cup than on its rounded back, so the three-cup rotor turns at a rate that increases with wind speed. In this model the spindle drives a digital display, which turns the rotation into a wind speed reading on the spot. Students can then concentrate on how wind varies with height, exposure and time of day rather than on counting revolutions.
- Take the anemometer to an open site, away from buildings and trees that shelter the wind.
- Hold or mount it with the spindle vertical so the cups turn freely.
- Let the cups reach a steady speed, then note the value on the display.
- Take several readings over a few minutes and average them, since wind speed changes from moment to moment.
- Repeat at different heights or locations and plot the results.
Key features
- Digital display gives a direct wind speed reading without manual timing or calculation.
- Three cups on a vertical spindle, the standard cup-rotor arrangement.
- Ball-bearing spindle for smooth, low-friction rotation.
- Portable for both classroom demonstrations and outdoor field readings.
- A natural next step after the simple cup anemometer once the principle has been taught.
