Abstract

The measuring system for estimation of power of wind flow generated by the train movement has been created. The advantages of the proposed system are the cheapness and simple design. With its simplicity of design and easy build-up of channels, designed measuring system can be used for a wide range of technical problems. This paper describes the design process, validation and conducting the first field test of this measuring system.
