Mechanical Anemometer. Credited with devising the first mechanical anemometer is Italian art architect and mathematician Leon Batista Alberti, in 1450. In his device, the wind pushed against a disk, and an accompanying scale gave a relative strength of the wind as shown by the angle of inclination of the disk.up Anemometer. A more advanced anemometer design using four cups attached by spokes to a central rod was invented by John Thomas Romney Robinson in 1846.
