AIR CURRENT OBSERVATION DEVICE, AIR CURRENT OBSERVATION SYSTEM, AND AIR CURRENT OBSERVATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275888 titled 'AIR CURRENT OBSERVATION DEVICE, AIR CURRENT OBSERVATION SYSTEM, AND AIR CURRENT OBSERVATION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is an air current observation device that utilizes an optical sensing device to detect air currents in an aerial area surrounding a tower-like structure. The device then generates air current information based on the laser beam and reflected light, and creates an air current map indicating the distribution of air currents in the area.
- Air current detection means:
- Optical sensing device emits a laser beam - Receives reflected light to generate air current information
- Air current map generation means:
- Generates air current map indicating distribution of air currents
Potential Applications
The technology can be used for weather forecasting, wind energy optimization, and air traffic control.
Problems Solved
The device solves the problem of accurately detecting and mapping air currents in a specific aerial area.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in air current detection - Enhanced efficiency in analyzing air current data - Potential for better decision-making in various industries
Potential Commercial Applications
