both gear and vane motors can be wind and water propelled.
different kinds of steering gear
It is a hydraulic motor housing containing a vane that turns the shaft when hydraulic fluid is pump through the motor.
Air vane motor advantages: - low weight and small size (only 1/5 of the weight and 1/2 of the size of an electric motor of equivalent power) - safe or use in potentially explosive requirements (air motors fulfill ATEX requirements) - overload safe - an airmotor can be load to standstill without damage - sterilisable for repeated use in clean-rooms - sealed - even for underwater usage - insensitive to cleaning agents - suitable for the high standards of the food processing and pharmaceutical industry - insensitive to acids - torque increase with higher load - insensitive to vibrations - insensitive to heat - insensitive to dust - reversible - can be set in both rotational directions - speed is easy to controll: adjustment of the speed by altering the pressure or air quantity (throttling via valve) - low installation costs - maintenance friendly What is an air vane motor? Alle vane motors essentially consist of a rotor, which circulates in an exxentrically offset perforation of a rotor cyclinder. Because of this eccentrically offset perforation, the vanes form working-chambers. The expanding of the compressed supply air (the pressure energy) is converted into kinetic energy - this results in a rotation of the rotor. A typically vanes motor speeds up to approx. 60,000 rpm. In combination with a gear box the speed can be regulated down to 5 rpm. Air vane motors are safe and robust drive systems, which come into play when a high performance and overload safe drive is required. Always ready for action long after traditional drive technology has stopped spinning!

Rotary vane steering gear is a type of hydraulic steering system commonly used in ships and large marine vessels. It operates using a series of vanes mounted on a rotating cylinder, which are actuated by hydraulic pressure to direct the flow of fluid and adjust the position of the rudder. This mechanism allows for precise control of the vessel's direction, making it suitable for navigating through challenging marine environments. The efficiency and responsiveness of rotary vane steering gear contribute to enhanced maneuverability at various speeds.
The nacelle at the wind vane is typically turned by a yaw motor, which is controlled by a wind turbine controller. The wind vane measures the direction of the oncoming wind and communicates this information to the yaw motor, which then adjusts the nacelle position to face directly into the wind for optimal energy production. The notation "â" is often used in ASCII encoding and represents a specific character in this context, but "128" and "153" do not directly relate to wind direction indication.
The homophones for vane are vain and vein.
Vane Featherston's birth name is Vane Featherstonhaugh.

Vane, as in a weather vane
Yes, Charles Vane was known as "Blackbeard the Pirate."
Weather vane is for direction and anemometer is for speed
