a windsock from japan
A windsock is a cone-shaped cloth bag open at both ends used for measuring wind direction. It is commonly found at airports, chemical plants, and weather stations to indicate the direction of the wind.
Yes, a windsock typically has an opening at the front or wide end which allows the wind to inflate and indicate wind direction. This design feature enables the windsock to be visible and responsive to wind changes.
A windsock provides both wind direction and windspeed. So long as you have at least 3 knots of wind the sock will provide wind direction +/- 5 degrees. When wind speed is at least 15 knots (17 mph) the sock will be fully erect (no sagging). Windsocks are designed per the FAA to withstand up to 75 knot winds.
The direction of the wind is typically shown using a weather vane, windsock, or wind flags. These instruments align themselves with the direction from which the wind is blowing, helping to indicate wind patterns.

Yes, a windsock narrows towards the end to help indicate wind direction and speed. As the wind blows through the windsock, the narrowing at the end causes it to point in the direction from which the wind is coming.
So the wind passed through and moves the windsock in the direction the wind is blowing.

A windsock is typically made from lightweight, durable materials such as nylon or polyester. These materials are weather-resistant and allow the windsock to move freely in the wind to indicate wind direction and speed.
