Does a windmill show wind direction?
Classic windmills include a tail. At normal wind speeds it will face the windmill into the wind. During storms they need to be furled which will turn the windmill away from the wind.The newer windmills are tailless and are motorized, and will also turn the windmill into the wind. They are probably more stable with shifting wind patterns and can be designed to be self furling.Vertical axis windmills are not directional, and do not need to be turned into the wind. They will not show the direction of the wind.
