While the 1911 information may have been useful in its time, I'd consider the bulk of this article to be at best highly misleading. --scruss 17:11, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Removed following uncited / conflicting info
I removed:
- The first anemometer was invented by [[Leone Battista Alberti]] in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. It was later re-invented by Englishman [[Robert Hooke]] who is often mistakenly considered the inventor of the first anemometer.
as 1) neither article contains the claim they invented the first anemometer, and 2) the generic statement doesn't match up with the categorized anemometer types (i.e. which type did they invent). - Davandron | Talk 21:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
I added: the inventor of the three cup anemometer (Patterson), Aberti & Hooke under flat plate anemometer, and Dines under pressure port anemometer Ken Devine
[edit] Topic should be broadened
This is a very poor report on this measurment explain
Anemometer: An instrument to measure the speed or velocity of gases either in a contained flow, such as airflow in a duct, or in unconfined flows, such as atmospheric wind. To determine the velocity, an anemometer detects change in some physical property of the fluid or the effect of the fluid on a mechanical device inserted into the flow.
Anemometers, I believe, have equally important applications in HVAC testing equipment and other testers for flow speed of various gases.
