Anemometer used for measuring wind speed from the variations either in temperature or in resistance of a metal wire which is heated by an electric current and loses more heat as the wind increases. 4, record 1, English, - hot%2Dwire%20anemometer

Hot-wire anemometer ... is an important device used principally in research on air turbulence and boundary layers. There are two types, known as constant-voltage and constant-temperature. The cooling of an electrically heated fine wire placed in a gas stream which alters wire resistance depends on the fluid velocity. With the constant-voltage type, as soon as the gas starts flowing, the hot wire cools off, the voltage across a Wheatstone bridge connected to the wire is kept constant, and the calibrated galvanometer shows a reading related to the velocity. 5, record 1, English, - hot%2Dwire%20anemometer

Anémomètre donnant la vitesse du vent d'après les variations de température et de résistance d'un fil métallique chauffé par un courant électrique et qui perd plus de chaleur à mesure que le vent augmente. 3, record 1, French, - an%C3%A9mom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20fil%20chaud

Dans les anémomètres à fil chaud, qui sont surtout utilisés pour mesurer les variations rapides de la vitesse du vent, un fil métallique chauffé électriquement est plus ou moins refroidi suivant la vitesse, par exemple dans un écoulement turbulent. On mesure la résistance électrique du fil, qui est fonction de sa température, donc de la vitesse du vent. 4, record 1, French, - an%C3%A9mom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20fil%20chaud
