ABSTRACT:
A deflection detection system and software. The apparatus includes a system of one or more deflection sensors (18(a)(b)) connected to a pliable rod or other structure. The sensors measure movement due to a fluid impinging on the deflection cylinder (12) and transfers the measurements to a small computer (24). The computer analyzes the sensor measurements and computes a value for fluid speed and direction. The software compensates for various inherent oscillations to improve accuracy over current fluid flow sensors. The device is constructed of low cost materials.
