The Sling Psychrometer was invented in 1945 by Gideon John Rieck to measure relative humidity by comparing the temperature of a wet bulb thermometer with a dry bulb thermometer. When the wet bulb is wrapped in a wick that is dipped in water, the evaporation of the water lowers the temperature of the thermometer. By comparing the temperature difference between the two thermometers, the relative humidity can be determined. This invention allowed for portable and easy-to-use humidity measurements in the field and was widely used in meteorological and agricultural applications.
