Anemometer notes
Testing each anemometer for
- propeller torque using anemometer torque disc (18310)
- factory spec is 2.6 gm-cm (black nylon screw at 5cm and metal screw at 2cm)
- 33821 moved with 0.2 gm-cm (a black nylon screw at 2cm radius), so this is much better than factory spec
- 61996 moved with 0.5 gm-cm
- tested both Clock Wise(CW) and Counter Clock Wise (CCW)
- factory spec is 2.6 gm-cm (black nylon screw at 5cm and metal screw at 2cm)
- Wind speed using anemometer drive (18802)
- @200rpm = 0.98m/s. @1000rpm = 4.9m/s. @2000rpm = 9.8m/s
- tested both CW and CCW
- Vane Torque using Vane Torque Gauge (18331)
- mount the gauge, pull the string, if it moves with < 30 gm-cm of torque, golden.
- tested both CW and CCW
- Wind Direction using Vane Angle Fixture Tower Mount (18212)
- checked 3 directions
- 33821 all within 1 degree of accuracy
- 61996 reads 3 degrees less (ex: reads 177 when should be 180)
- checked 3 directions
