Abstract
A solid-state anemometer mounted to an upper location of a load boom and detecting a wind speed reading at the upper location on the load boom. A wireless transmitter communicatively coupled to the solid-state anemometer and obtains the wind speed reading and wirelessly transmits the same to a receiver.
Claims22
A system for use with a lifting machine having a load boom, the system comprising:
- a solid-state anemometer mounted to an upper location on the load boom and detecting a wind speed reading at the upper location on the load boom;
- and
- a wireless transmitter communicatively coupled to the solid-state anemometer and obtaining the wind speed reading and wirelessly transmitting the same to a receiver.
The system of claim 4, further comprising a first display obtaining the wind speed reading from the wireless receiver and displaying the wind speed reading.
A system for use with a vehicle providing an elevation or lifting mechanism comprising:
- an anemometer affixed to an upper portion of the vehicle and gathering a wind speed reading at the upper portion;
- a transmitter receiving the wind speed reading from the anemometer and transmitting the wind speed reading;
- and
- a receiver reviewing the wind speed reading at a location remote from the transmitter;
- wherein the anemometer does not utilize moving parts to gather the wind speed reading.
A system comprising for use with a vehicle having a boom or a work platform comprising:
- a solid-state anemometer detecting a wind reading at an upper portion of the vehicle;
- and
- a signal converter communicatively coupled to the solid-state anemometer and obtaining the wind reading;
- wherein the signal converter provides an output signal corresponding to the wind reading that is useable by a display device.
