Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
WINDGAUGE03A
Venturi tube based anemometer
High-endurance venturi anemometer with minimum moving parts.
Advantages
- Minimised number of moving parts results in increased durability
- Venturi effect allows accurate measurement in wide range of speeds.
Function principle
The anemometer consists the IMU sensor ICM-20948 which contains magnetometer, gyroscopes and accelerometers. The IMU allows sophisticated data aquisition for failure detection and gust wind analysis.
Main parameters
- Absolute azimuth accuracy 1°
- Wind speed measurement range 0-120 km/h
- Maximum mechanically safe wind speed 150 km/h
- Communication interfaces:
- USB
- I²C
- Operational temperature range -20/+45 °C
- Maximum hail diameter 0.5 cm
Software installation
The anemometer uses pymlab software toolkit to interface with a station computer. The toolkit also contains an example which allows basic calibration and data recording of anemometer data.
