That wouldn&#x27;t give you anywhere near the resolution of an actual hot wire anemometer. I&#x27;m fairly confident your instrument would be limited to measuring &quot;is the wind below or above 60 mph?&quot;, and would be unable to resolve changes happening in less than ~ 10 seconds.<p>Real hot wires have a diameter of ~ 1&#x2F;100 of a millimeter, that&#x27;s the only way to achieve any useful level of sensitivity.
