test: Anemometer-Weather Station for iPhone, Shaka’s Amazing Attachment ~ Measures Wind Speeds ~ Wind Direction ~ Temperature ~ Atmospheric Pressure ~ Humidity ~ Automatically Plots Precise Results on Dynamic Maps Globally ⭐⭐⭐⭐🍎🍎🍎🌀🌀🌀

🌀 Anemometer for iPhone, Shaka’s device is Shipping ~ Accurately Measures Wind Speeds to 90mph ~ Current Temperature ~ Wind Direction ~ Barometric Pressure ~ Relative Humidity ~ Automatically Plots Precise Results on Dynamic Maps globally with iPhone’s GPS capability. This plug-in device (plugs into the iPhone’s ear-phone jack) transforms your iPhone or iPad into an extremely accurate Wind-Speed Anemometer; Another example of an Independent Developer producing an amazing tool, taking advantage of the iPhone’s Computer Processing capability. As a Scientist by training, I’m “blown away” by this iPhone+App+Device combination. (pardon the pun)

🌀 Shaka iPhone Anemometer, Wind Meter, plugs into your iPhone, iPad, or iPod headphone socket, and with the accompanying free Shaka App running, the iPhone records and displays wind-specific weather data, such as current and average wind speed, maximum wind gust, ambient temperature, wind direction, atmospheric pressure & humidity. Here is a Link to DownLoad the Free App from Apple’s App Store. http://tiny.cc/xfqwdx

🌀 Anemometer-Weather Station for iPhone, Shaka’s Amazing Attachment ~ Measures Wind Speeds ~ Wind Direction ~ Temperature ~ Atmospheric Pressure ~ Relative Humidity ~ Automatically Plots Precise Results on Dynamic Maps Globally. Here is a brief video clip to show its usefulness. http://tiny.cc/bhuudx

🌀 Historical Perspective. An Anemometer is a device for measuring wind speed, and is a common weather station instrument. The term is derived from the Greek word anemos, meaning wind, and is used to describe any airspeed measurement instrument used in meteorology or aerodynamics.

🌀 Leon Battista Alberti around 1450, credited as giving first known description of an anemometer. Anemometers can be divided into two classes: those that measure the wind’s speed, and those that measure the wind’s pressure; but as there is a close connection between the pressure and the speed, an anemometer designed for one will give information to calculate the other.

🌀 It’s been exactly 4 weeks from my last Shaka update. A quick overview of where Shaka stands with production and shipping. During the first half of June Shaka produced several test batches and found a few Imperfections that needed fixing before the full production runs. These were mostly related to the injection moulded parts like the casing and impeller (the rotating fan-like thingie) used. This took more time to tweak the production tools and re-cycle production than had been expected.

🌀 Shaka therefore is experiencing a two week delay with shipping the products out to, as compared to their initial plan. The latest plan for delivering the products: Shaka started shipping first products to their fulfillment-partners this week.

🌀 Shaka’s Fulfillment partner will be shipped out the iDevices on a first order first serve basis starting from next week, July 1st. Shipping of all the pre-orders from the warehouse will take in most cases approximately 1-2 weeks. Shipping to My Front Door will take another 2 to 7 days depending on location. I will get an email when my order has been shipped from the fulfillment house. Yeppee.

🌀 Shaka is an Estonian startup that has created a unique wind-meter accessory for iOS devices such as the iPhone or iPad. Due to start shipping in June, 2013, the battery-free Shaka Wind Meter plugs into an iPhone, or iPad’s headphone socket.

🌀 Combine the Wind Meter with the existing onboard sensors of Apple’s hardware and Shaka’s App, the device quickly measures, records and displays wind-specific weather data such as current and average wind speed, maximum wind gust, ambient temperature, and wind direction. All this Data is then submitted automatically to Shaka’s servers, where the Data is mapped to the exact location of the iPhone, using the GPS capability of the iPhone or iPad.

🌀 The device’s inspiration and intended use scenario, was to enable people who take part in wind-related sports, such as wind-surfers and kite-surfers, serfers, and boating to find favorable or unfavorable wind conditions. “Forecasts are often inaccurate and the coverage with stationary and connected stations is not good enough,” says Shaka co-founder Raigo Raamat. “We wanted to simplify the process of sharing actual wind conditions inside the community.”

🌀 Raigo Raamat and his two other co-founders, Jens Kasemets and Mihkel Güsson embarked on the project in 2011 they realised “many more communities” could benefit from a device that enabled a smart phone or tablet to be transformed into a “connected weather station” for either private use or for contributing to and accessing real-time crowd-sourced weather data. These range from academia, agriculture, emergency services, golfing, boating, and motor sports. “The measured wind results for all these uses differ, but common to all, they need mmojre precise weather measurement and location input,” says Raamat.

🌀 Shaka has ambitions beyond this wind-meter. Longer term, Shaka may graduate from the harware-focused accelerator HAXLR8R, plans to build what Raamat’s calling a platform for the world’s smallest weather station. “We’ll add barometric pressure and humidity sensors to achieve this goal. Eventually support will be delivered for Android devices,” he says. The startup’s ultimate target is expensive to formulate.

🌀 July 1st, 2013, the company is shipping this wind-meter, monetizing the hardware only. December began the shipping of their Newest Weather Station model which adds, Barometric Pressure and Relative Humidity, to the Initial Model’s capability. Shaka’s accompanying App is free. However, in the future the Shaka App will offer additional in-App Paid additional services. Shaka will be opening up the platform to partners who may want to develop other Apps on top of Shaka, that target various weather-related communities.

PharmacoGenetic Screening: Having been trained in Molecular Biology and BioChemistry, I have an avid interest in PharmacoGenetics and DNA Screening. Patients that have been screened, have a 99% better result when Doctors prescribe FDA medications, taking into account your unique genetic profile.

DNA Calling Card

Last year 2.2 million patients taking properly prescribed FDA Approved Drugs have experienced Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR); of those millions, 770,000 experienced an avoidable ADR requiring Hospitalization, and 100,000 of those patients the ADRs resulted in fatalities, more than triple the number of Highway deaths in the USA. Genomic DNA Testing done once in your Lifetime, will give Physicians valuable information guiding them in prescribed FDA Approved medications taking into account the patients unique genetic profile.

As many of my friends, family and students know, I am an avid iPad adopter since its release April, 2010. With Apple’s release of the Retina-Display iPad Mini, (I sold my iPad 4 to Gazelle.com) applied the proceeds to purchase the "mini" with 128GB of Storage, AT&T connectivity, plus added Logitech’s UltraThin Keyboard Cover, and an ACME MADE San Francisco rubberized thin slip-over protective case. This thin package actually fits into my trousers pocket.
