Summary

4/26/15 - Uploaded c_cup.stl and qtr_weight.stl. This is a larger cup with a shorter arm to provide more RPMs in lighter winds, plus a governor weight that accepts US quarter coins to compensate for the greater weight of the larger cups.

An exercise to see whether the notion of a purely mechanical anemometer was feasible, and as an amusing Christmas gift for my uncle, a retired NOAA meteorologist.

It does work, though the windspeed indications on the scale are a complete and total SWAG!
