The world’s lightest 3D ultrasonic wind-speed anemometer

By Michelle Froese | April 17, 2017

Syncroness and Anemoment have jointly developed a miniature, lightweight, high-accuracy wind speed and directional anemometer. TriSonica Mini is a 3D ultrasonic anemometer that’s ideal for mobile applications and small spaces, particularly in the meteorology and unmanned vehicles (UAV) markets.

The TriSonica Mini is an ultrasonic anemometer that offers 3D wind-speed data in a package that’s less than 100mm and under 50g.

Syncroness specializes in providing systems integration and data collection software for customers that desire a custom application or product.

The TriSonica Mini is currently the world’s smallest 3D anemometer at 75 mm per side and less than 50 grams in weight. It can measure wind speed and direction in all three axes (x, y and z) up to 30 m/s (67 mph) with a 10 hertz sampling rate. The TriSonica Mini’s solid-state wind system has no moving parts, maximizing product durability, accuracy, and reliability.

“The compact TriSonica Mini brings 3D wind sensing to new markets unreachable by traditional anemometry’s bulky, heavy devices. It is light enough to attach to a drone, fast, and accurate enough to facilitate real-time decision-making and cost-efficient enough to use as a disposable,” said Stephen Osborn, Founder, Anemoment, LLC.

Four redundant measurement paths and unique geometric features (patent pending) limit distortion and provide precise 3-dimensional wind measurement in a tiny footprint. The TriSonica Mini interfaces with all standard data collection systems to ensure easy integration to your existing platform.

“Trisonica Mini is the first product to launch out of SyncWerx, Syncroness’ new technology incubator. I am excited to see the market’s reaction at AUVSI,” said Mark Henault, CTO of Syncroness.
