I use them and the noise they make is why some still refer to bite alarms as buzzers. There are no single bleeps, peeps, pips or any of that warbling that goes on with the Delkims. I'm sure the buzzer from the Heron's sounder box would be well at home in the servant quarters of a mansion house.
A vane anemometer thus combines a propeller and a tail on the same axis to obtain accurate and precise wind speed and direction measurements from the same instrument. The speed of the fan is measured by a rev counter and converted to a windspeed by an electronic chip.
These types of instruments are used by the wind energy industry, both for wind resource assessment and turbine control. Wind speed is measured with an anemometer. In situations where modern instruments are not available, an index finger can be used to test the direction of wind. This is accomplished by wetting the finger and pointing it upwards. The side of the finger that feels cool is (approximately) the direction from which the wind is blowing.
