drag sphere anemometer

A device that measures wind speed by the drag force the wind produces on a solid sphere. Wind speed is proportional to the square root of the drag force. The sphere is often mounted on the end of a rod or pole, with strain gauges attached to the rod to measure the force indirectly.
