The principle of thermoelectric anemometers is based on the flow-induced cooling of a heated sensor region. The resulting temperature differences are transduced into electrical voltages using the Seebeck effect. 3, record 1, English, - thermoelectric%20anemometer

Les anémomètres thermiques utilisant la modification des échanges thermiques d'un corps chauffé par l'air en mouvement : anémomètre à fil chaud, anémomètre thermoélectrique. [...] Anémomètre thermoélectrique. Ces anémomètres comportent un fil ou une sphère (préférable car non directionnelle) chauffés à puissance constante et un thermocouple qui mesure l'écart de température entre le corps chauffé et un corps identique placé dans l'air; très sensible aux faibles vitesses du vent, ils ont comme inconvénient leur inertie et leur manque de précision. 1, record 1, French, - an%C3%A9mom%C3%A8tre%20thermo%C3%A9lectrique
