	Wind Sock
		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 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).
		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.

	Rules Frame
		Q. May a wind sock or similar device be used to gauge or measure wind speed or direction?

		Assuming there was no wind that day, they determined that with their anemometer 100 rpms equals 10 miles per hour.

		That's why wind farms, where there are a lot of wind turbines grouped together, are located in windy spots.

	Windsock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A windsock is a large, conical, open-ended tube designed to indicate wind direction and relative wind speed.
		Wind direction is the opposite of the direction in which the windsock is pointing (note that wind directions are conventionally specified as being the compass point from which the wind originates; so a windsock pointing due north indicates a southerly wind).
		Windspeed is indicated by the windsock's angle relative to the mounting pole; in low winds, the windsock droops; in high winds it flies horizontally.
