   In 1450, the Italian art architect Leon Battista Alberti invented the first mechanical anemometer. This instrument consisted of a disk placed perpendicular to the wind. It would rotate by the force of the wind, and by the angle of inclination of the disk the wind force momentary showed itself.

   May 29, 2007 · The earliest anemometer was designed by Italian inventor and architect Leon Battista Alberti in 1450. His device consisted of a disk placed perpendicular to the direction of the wind that would spin due to the wind, the angle of inclination of the disk momentarily revealing its force.

   What is an anemometer used for?

   • In meteorology, an anemometer (from Ancient Greek άνεμος (ánemos) 'wind', and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') is a device that measures wind speed and direction. It is a common instrument used in weather stations. The earliest known description of an anemometer was by Italian architect and author Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) in 1450.

   Leon Battista Alberti developed the anemometer in 1450 to measure wind velocity. However, Leonardo da Vinci redesigned the device, making it more accurate and easier to measure wind force. The anemometer functions because a piece of wood is attached to a frame and gets raised by the wind flowing across the contraption.
