GRAND RAPIDS — Recently we have had some very windy days, but do we always know which direction the wind is blowing? In today's weather experiment we are going to build a wind vane or weather vane to ...

Have you ever wondered how an electronic wind vane translates a direction into a unique signal? It seems as though it might be very complicated, and indeed some of them are. [martinm] over at ...

Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers have developed a method to detect wind direction with 99% accuracy ...
