Wind Vane

It automatically aligns itself with real-time wind direction relying on aerodynamic force difference between large-area tail vane and narrow pointer. The whole assembly stably rotates around vertical central axis until aerodynamic force reaches balance. Its precise angular position is accurately converted into standard analog & digital electrical signals, which is highly proportional to outdoor 360° omnidirectional wind direction data.
