Abstract

This thesis describes the development of a free standing, maintenance free
anemometer which has no rotating parts. The principle of operation is based
on the \-vind drag/force around a hollow P.V.c. pipe. The aim is to
demonstrate how the strain occurring in the P.V.C. pipe, due to wind
drag/force acting on it, can generate an electrical signal which can be
mathematically manipulated to determine wind velocity and wind bearing.
