Wind Sock"Wind Sock patented design tells direction of wind
|
The Wind Tracker 321 is the ideal solution for personnel evacuation from buildings and areas where harmful gases or contaminants may accumulate or travel too. It affords immediate recognition of wind direction and action in and around it's location. The variable height settings of the telescoping fiberglass Wonder Pole allow for greater visibility. The Wonder Pole is maintenance free and does not present the same electrical hazards commonly associated with metal poles. The patented action of the Wind Tracker 321 "animates" the wind and speed accurately. Detecting gas or hazardous particle movement below 1 mile per hour is critical to safety. We recommend placement at ground level and raise the pole to the desired height, up to 21'. The amount of units should be determined by the area, lanes of sight, and wind current obstructions to name a few. |

The pivotal harness & flag come assembled. As air currents move along the flag it rises & falls with side-to-side movement as the wind changes directions. When the flag attempts to "dive off", it is pulled back into the winds force by the harness cords. This patented harness and its ability to keep the flag in position allows it to animate the wind at any speed, and at all times. |
 |
The patented pivotal harness rotates without the aid of ball bearings or other devices The Glide Plate rotates 360 degrees within the Glide Collar by wind force alone. This is important because there is no added friction to artificially slow down or force to create a spin effect. |
 |
Vertical flag movement from side view. The flag lifts the Glide Plate from the surface of the collar and rotates with a minimal amount of surface contact. There are no mechanical parts to jam or wear out. |
 |
The harness cords allow the side-to-side tilting motion of the flag which not only detects wind shear and variability of direction, but also creates an animation, and visual recognition of wind variability at a glance. |

| HOW THE WIND TRACKER WIND SYSTEM WORKS:
The Wind Tracker Wind System flags are designed to work in partnership with our patented pivotal harness system. The flag is 2x8' feet, fully dyed, and reinforced at the fly end with two rows of stitching. The no fray side hem allows graceful movement, which animates the wind. The dynamic design & international colors representing caution are understandable to all persons. As air currents move along the flag it rises & falls with side-to-side movement as the wind changes directions. When the flag attempts to "dive off", it is pulled back into the winds force by the harness cords. This patented harness and its ability to keep the flag in position allows it to animate the wind at any speed, and at all times. The patented pivotal harness rotates without the aid of ball bearings or other devices The Glide Plate rotates 360 degrees within the Glide Collar by wind force alone. This is important because there is no added friction to artificially slow down or force to create a spin effect. The flag lifts the Glide Plate from the surface of the collar and rotates with a minimal amount of surface contact. There are no mechanical parts to jam or wear out. The harness cords allow the side-to-side tilting motion of the flag which not only detects wind shear and variability of direction, but also creates an animation, and visual recognition of wind variability at a glance. ORDINARY WINDSOCKS OBSOLETE: The windsock design, or use, is not notably recorded prior to the late 1800's. It appears the sock was adapted from the "Wind-Sail" a wide tube or funnel of canvas used to convey a stream of air into the lower compartments of a ship (Noah Webster Dictionary 1828). The windsocks final fundamental use and design was later developed for use with small aircraft. Ordinary windsocks cannot accurately indicate wind direction & speed because a volume of air in combination with sufficient wind speed must be realized before the open ended tube is filled and lifted. At that point, the air volume, and wind force in the tube is in direct conflict with any wind directional changes and acting against the sides of the tube. This deficiency in design limits its accuracy and ability to immediately respond to directional changes in the wind at lower speeds. This makes the ordinary airport windsock unsuitable for detection of low wind movement of hazardous airborne materials. |

| WIND SPEED & DIRECTION There are a thousand uses for this Wind Dancer system. Shooting ranges, field burning, pesticide applications, oil fields, waste treatment plants, just to name a few. FIELD OBSERVATION & RECOGNITION: As an observation and field recognition system it gets even better. The visibility is a minimum 1/4-mile away! Landing craft can determine the speed and direction of the wind before approaching shore. Balloonist, surfers, hang gliders, para sailers, parachute landings, use this flag with the field guide for instant visual recognition of the wind direction, speed, and gusts. LOCATORS: Schools and other organizations can utilize this device to establish areas to assemble. The flag never wraps around the pole, and can be seen from long distances. Use one color to signal "Danger", one for "Meet Here", and another for "All Clear". Scouting groups can establish rendezvous points, camp headquarters, and carry the unit with them for field identification. The pole is fiberglass, telescoping from 8' to 21' high. The pole weight is only 5.5 pounds. Sturdy construction, and made in the USA it has a full one year guarantee. For more information, please call us toll free at 1-800-707-3524. |
