Definition of vane in English:

vane

noun veɪnveɪn

1A broad blade attached to a rotating axis or wheel which pushes or is pushed by wind or water and forms part of a machine or device such as a windmill, propeller, or turbine.
Example sentencesExamples
- All turbine products are similar in that they derive their energy from the action of blades or vanes that spin in response to a force applied upon them.
- Early views of Sydney were dominated by the sails of the ships which had propelled the newcomers across the oceans and by the vanes of the windmills which provided the settlement with its first forms of industrial power.
- A knowledgeable friend told me, that is also very interesting to pay attention to the position of the windmill vanes when they are at rest.
- Advanced technology means the giant vanes of the turbines swivel to search for wind but cut out in stormy conditions.
- The wind or air rising through the turbine turns the vanes in the turbine and gets the air moving near the top of the house, drawing moisture out.

  short for weathervane
  Example sentencesExamples
  He also tested and fitted lightning conductors, vanes and weather cocks on the tallest of buildings.
  Unlike the compass, the vane was clearly a scientific instrument, though the sort that comes in the Home Weather Kit you might give your dad shortly after his retirement.
2. 1.2 The flat part on either side of the shaft of a feather.
  Example sentencesExamples
  Shafts and vanes are present in the feathers, but no direct evidence of the shafts remains.
  This method is based on the fact that as a feather grows, alternating light and dark bands appear across its vane.
  The vane on one side of the feather's spine was wider than the one on the other.
  The facial disk, which lies over the ruff, is composed of feathers with open vanes.
  Does this not suggest that early feathers must have had pennaceous vanes at least distally, if the downy bases, or down feathers, were to be effective for insulation?
3. 1.3 A broad, flat projecting surface designed to guide the motion of a projectile, such as a feather on an arrow or a fin on a torpedo.
  Example sentencesExamples
  Their angle of attack should be very small just to ensure that the air flow comes to the same side on each vane.
  For fletching there are two options: either plastic vanes or real feathers.
  Feathers and vanes work about equally well with less-powerful target crossbows.
  The first uses multiple airfoil-shaped vanes arrayed around the inner circumference of the exhaust side of the turbo housing.
  This rigid plastic curled vane can be taped or glued to the arrow shaft using a normal fletching jig.

vaned

adjective

usually in combination a three-vaned windmill
Example sentencesExamples
- In the vaned impeller, the fluid undergoes an abrupt acceleration and change of direction as it enters the rotor.
- Other feather types similar in some respects to down and vaned feathers while unique in others include filoplumes, bristles, and semiplumes.
- The obtained results demonstrate that the centrifugal pump with the optimized vaned diffuser has compact size compared with the original one while the performance requirements have been met.
- Centrifugal compressors use a vaned rotating disk or impeller in a shaped housing to force the gas to the rim of the impeller, increasing the velocity of the gas.
- Furthermore, in the vaned diffuser, the secondary flow directed from the suction surface to the pressure surface of the vanes is prevented.

Origin

Late Middle English: dialect variant of obsolete fane 'banner', of Germanic origin.
