The wind vane [or wind vane] is the instrument used to measure the wind direction. It is a simple instrument consisting of an arrow mounted on a pole or any graphic. When there is a breeze, the rod moves in the direction of the wind. The front of the blade is more or less pointed and the rear end is wide so that even the slightest breeze moves the blade. The arrow turns until the wind is evenly distributed on both sides of the wind vane, so that the front indicates the exact direction of the wind. The wind vane is placed in an open height to meet the wind.
The wind vane is one of the oldest wind instruments used by humans. The oldest wind vane dates back to the wind towers of Athens, Greece, and dates back to 48 BC. For centuries, the weather vane has been used as an ornament to showcase various cultural, religious and national icons. At some point in time, these wind vanes are likely to be used as flags because the origin of the word "wind vane" seems to come from the "fane" in the Anglo-Saxon language, meaning the flag.
There is no doubt that the wind vane is used to indicate the patriotic sentiments depicted by the Blades of the Federation and the Statue of Liberty. Even today, the weather vane is used as an ornament on a building, not for any other specific purpose. Even the office building is a sport vane with the company logo printed on it. They can be custom designed according to the size of the blade, the materials used, and of course the design. The modern wind vane is also equipped with an anemometer, which is a device for measuring wind speed. They can also be connected to remote reading stations. The modern wind vane is rust-free and maintenance-free.
The wind vane is available in hundreds of models and designs. They can be carefully designed to suit the exact characteristics of the house, the location and the unique taste of the customer. The wind direction is marked with wrought iron, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze or steel. They are made in different shapes, from simple arrows to animals, birds, humans, crests, exotic figurines or a combination of these themes. The demand for antique weather vanes is so great that some dealers look like antiques for rebuilding wind vanes. Although the weather vanes are more popular with the "village" or "farm" look, they add an elegant touch to any building. The wind vane can also be used as a decorative item in a house or even as a table top.
