Dans les anémomètres à rotation, la vitesse du vent est déduite de la vitesse de rotation d’un moulinet ou d’une hélice. [...] l’astronome irlandais Thomas Romney Robinson (1792-1842) [...] invente [en 1846] un anémomètre muni d’un moulinet à quatre coupelles hémisphériques, monté sur un axe vertical. 3, record 1, French, - moulinet
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 CONT
De nombreuses études ont été entreprises pour déterminer la forme et les dimensions des moulinets; il en résulte que le moulinet à trois coupelles a un couple plus régulier, que les coupelles tronconiques ont une vitesse de rotation, pour un vent donné, moins élevée et une réponse beaucoup plus linéaire [...] 4, record 1, French, - moulinet
