A wind vane, also known as a weather vane, is a device used to measure the direction of the wind. It is commonly used in conjunction with wind turbines to measure the direction of the wind in order to optimize the efficiency of the turbine. Wind vanes are typically mounted on the top of a tower or pole and are designed to rotate freely in the wind. The direction of the wind is indicated by the direction of the vane. Wind vanes are typically made of metal, plastic, or wood and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be used in both residential and commercial applications. Wind vanes are also used in the aviation industry to measure wind speed and direction. The wind vane market is an important part of the wind power industry. Wind vanes are used to measure the direction of the wind in order to optimize the efficiency of wind turbines. This helps to ensure that the turbines are able to generate the maximum amount of power possible. Some companies in the wind vane market include Davis Instruments, Windmill Products, and WindyNation.
