How to Make a Personalized Weather Vane?
You hear the news this morning about a tornado nearby. It’s not heading in your direction yet, who knows with Mother Nature? It might go northward instead of west – right to your direction. Suddenly, the wind gets stronger and the lights go out. Now, there is no way for you to check which direction the wind that carries the tornado heads. So, before that happens make your own weather vane. This article outlines how to do just that. First, look for materials that can be easily made into a weather vane. There are a lot to choose from. There’s copper, bronze, gold plated steel bars and wood. Copper and bronze weather vanes are the most commonly used materials for a weather vane. Wood may not be as attractive as that of copper and bronze, but it is easy to craft and install. All you need is a hammer and some nails, and you have your own weather vane. You can customize it by painting it with different colors or placing a rooster (like the old days) or a plane on top. Remember that the weather vane needs to be very light for accurate record of wind directions. One thing to consider as well is the color. Try a color that will make your weather vane visible in the dark. You can use some luminous paints in each direction. Second, make sure that the screws are oiled before installing them in place. This will help the weather vane to smoothly follow the direction of the wind. Third, install the weather vane in a place where it can be perfectly balanced. A rooftop is a good place since air passes there freely. However, you don’t want to go out of the house in the middle of the night and check for the wind directions. You can have a pole planted approximately 5 meters outside your house and place the weather vane on it. This way, it’s balanced, and you can check it from your window. With these simple steps you can now prepare yourself from that tornado that may or may not head your way. People in history escaped from tornadoes and hurricanes way ahead of time thanks to weather vanes, not intelligent computer programs.
