A weathervane has a simple yet amazing design. The figurine is designed to balance and swivel perfectly on the central pole; but one bit of scientific detail makes it respond and point to the wind as if saying, “Caught you!” The figurine on the weathervane has a surface area that is unequally distributed on either side of the central pole. So when the wind hits the larger surface, it moves. There is an arrow attached to the figurine that turns. Contrary to what is commonly understood, the arrow actually points to the direction from where the wind is coming. It does not point in the direction in which the wind is going. If you don’t understand these modalities, no problem! Just enjoy the pleasures of owning one.
