Home > Shopping Tools > Weather Station Glossary of Terms > wind vane (definition) A wind vane is a device that measures the direction of the wind. The wind vane is usually combined with the anemometer. Wind direction is the direction from which the wind is blowing.
How to make a Weather Vane and an Anemometer Background information Wind turbines are machines that convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity. In order to do this efficiently they need to face into the wind. They do this automatically by turning the nacelle (the box) at the top of tower into the wind.ow to make a Weather Vane and an Anemometer Background information Wind turbines are machines that convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity.
