DIY Anemometer (Wind Meter)
This text provides information about an app that can be used in conjunction with a simple homemade device to create a functioning anemometer for measuring Wind speed or airflow. The app uses the magnetometer in an iPhone to measure the rotation speed of a magnet, which is then correlated with the airflow speed. Users have the option to choose the type of anemometer that best suits their needs and can make improvements or create and calibrate their own designs. The app also allows users to select the units of measurement and average value. It is important to remember to protect the iPhone with a cover. The specifications for the "Outdoor" anemometer include a measurement range of 0.5 m/s to 15 m/s, accuracy of 0.5 m/s, and an update time of 2-5 seconds. Additionally, there is a warning about the dangers of magnets for small children and the importance of educating them about not swallowing magnets. More information can be found in the Help section of the app.
