Copper Weathervane
The copper weathervane design revolution
The copper weathervane is an instrument that has been used for hundreds of years to name blowing winds, and over the years the instruments have changed and evolved. Nowadays copper weathervanes are undergoing a design revolution, and where roosters and arrows used to point out a wind, now almost anything can do it instead!
What exactly does the pointer do?
The pointer is the instrument that actually points out the wind. It is made from copper which is both durable and light weight, and allows the pointer to spin on its axis in order to point out the wind accurately. It points into the source direction of a blowing wind so that the wind can be named easily. It is a carefully balanced instrument, with the overall balance coming from the actual design of the pointer.
Have some fun with your copper weathervane
Give that rooster the boot, and replace it with a new pointer that is twice as much fun. You can choose anything from a heron to a horse, and even a magical Chinese dragon!
