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 20240119844 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 includes an air current detection means and an air current map generation means. The optical sensing device emits a laser beam to an aerial area surrounding the tower-like structure, and when it receives reflected light, it generates air current information. The air current map generation means then generates an air current map indicating the distribution of air current in the aerial area using the air current information.
- Air current observation device components:
- Air current detection means - Optical sensing device - Tower-like structure - Laser beam - Reflected light - Air current information - Air current map generation means - Air current map
Potential Applications: This technology can be used for weather forecasting, wind energy optimization, and air traffic control.
Problems Solved: This technology solves the problem of accurately monitoring and mapping air currents in a specific aerial area.
Benefits: The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in air current observation, better resource allocation for power and communication, and enhanced safety in various applications.
Potential Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications of this technology include meteorological research, renewable energy projects, and aviation industry.
Possible Prior Art: One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional weather monitoring systems that rely on ground-based sensors and satellite data for air current observation.
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the air current observation device handle changes in weather conditions that may affect the accuracy of the air current map? 2. What is the range of the optical sensing device in detecting air currents in the aerial area surrounding the tower-like structure?
