How an Anemometer Measures Wind Speed - Diagram & Explanation #9994 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts a traditional cup anemometer, featuring three hemispherical cups mounted on horizontal arms that rotate in response to wind. The rotation drives a mechanical linkage connected to an analog dial gauge at the base, translating rotational speed into wind velocity readings. The design emphasizes functionality and clarity, making it ideal for educational or meteorological reference materials.

Used on educational websites, meteorology guides, or STEM resource pages to explain wind measurement tools; matches user intent for learning basic weather instrument mechanics or preparing classroom visuals.
