Wind is no longer an unpredictable disruptive factor - with Windpuls it becomes a measurable influencing factor. We are revolutionizing the world of wind measurement to help athletes, developers and the energy industry get the most out of the wind. The app connects to the Windpuls Sensor and allows for precise recordings: - We measure in three dimensions how the wind flows towards the sensor on a moving object. - We measure how fast the sensor moves along a route. - We determine the inclination of the sensor, as this is required for converting the inflow conditions into wind. - We record the real wind at every measuring point regardless of your own position and movement. - We can assign a position on the map to the sensor. - Measuring the sensor rotation allows us to determine accurate wind and weather data in any situation.
