Re: Wind Tunnel
How fast does the air need to be traveling for you to collect the data you need?
I built a small scale wind tunnel using a house fan, its max speed is about 20-25 mph. But you probably need something with some more power. |

Re: Wind Tunnel
There is one at Rose-Hulman in Terre Haute (or at least there was still one the last time I was on campus a couple years ago), but that's probably farther than you want to have to go.
How big a test sample and what wind speed is required will have a major bearing on finding a tunnel. You can test a scale model, it just will require an appropriate increase in wind speed. |

Re: Wind Tunnel
If i remember correctly the SpaceShipOne team mounted the model to the front of a truck to test its drag. Id be pretty nervous to compete against a FIRST team that had to test the drag of their bot.

Re: Wind Tunnel
I think that they need a wind tunnel because they're trying to actually build a wall-bot

Re: Wind Tunnel
wonder if this is just to scare people, it kinda made me wonder what was possible but after reading the rules again I'm not that worried any more.
