We can consult with you on all aspects of your wind tunnel business, however if you are looking for a "recipe for a wind tunnel" we will not provide that information to you. Current manufacturers have collaboratively spent millions perfecting the design of a tunnel, and there is no reason to reinvent it at this point. We will recommend a facility from our manufacturer list that will best suit your needs and budget.

A VWT is a machine that produces a vertical jet, or column of wind. If this jet is fast and large enough, a person can float. Experienced fliers can perform an unlimited sequence of motions which can be acrobatic, or dance like. Skydivers practice in Vertical Wind Tunnels, which are also known as Skydiving or Free Fall Simulators.

Bodyflight Network www.bodyflight.net is Your Guide to Human Flight & Vertical Wind Tunnels. It lists every operational facility in the world and keeps bodyflyers up to date on the latest news. You will find hundreds of pictures and lots of videos along with details on finding the wind tunnel closest to you.

Of course you want to know if your getting a good deal or at least what else is out there on the market. Unfortunately, there are very few quality companies that exist. Our purpose here is to prevent you from purchasing from an unqualified manufacturer and ending up with a machine that is either not sound, or safe.

Yes we can. Although you will find that our largest market is currently in the United States, we do have a relationship with a quality manufacturer in Europe, and can direct you accordingly towards a safe purchase outside of the United States.

Absolutely. Our purpose here is to prevent you from purchasing from an unqualified manufacturer and ending up with a machine that is neither sound nor safe. John is available to assist you with all aspects of your business transaction, he can visit a prospective facility with you, speak with that companies representatives with you and help you to understand your possible purchase and how to best utilize it. Please Contact Us to set up a consultation time for your request.

It is literally a tunnel with large fans where teams send race cars to get measurements. The fans generate wind and hit the car from all different angles. Teams take their cars to the wind tunnel to figure out how well air is flowing over the car. They can stop the wind and make changes, then compare the results to find the best aerodynamic shape. Knowing that it is impossible to get all of your race cars to the wind tunnel, many teams focus on superspeedway cars versus a road course car.

Once you have decided to install a fence, you should be prepared to discuss the following points with your fence professional. The purpose of the fence, the exact location of the fence, what type of design features you want (height, style, material) approximate budget, desired completion date. BACK TO TOP

a car moves through the air, the air causes different types of pressure on the surface of the body. These pressures are measurements you get from the wind tunnel. Downforce is another type of air pressure. When the downforce on top of the car is greater than the air pressure on the bottom of the car, you have downforce. This pushes the car onto the track, providing more grip and keeps it from losing traction at high speeds and in the corners.

A wind tunnel is a piece of equipment that produces constant air speed within a contained space. The wind speed will be set to 5m/s on competition day. The following link shows a video of the School of Engineering’s wind tunnel.

You cannot cause any damage (holes, scratches, etc.) or alterations to the wind tunnel. The floor of the wind tunnel is made of painted plywood.

Telephone consultations for business plan work can be arranged on our Contact Us page. We have complete access to a wide variety of accurate industry information and statistics. Speaking from personal experience accumulated from across the globe, John can provide you with answers to the hard questions.

Vertical wind profile describes how wind speed and wind direction change as the observation height increases. From the telecom masts it is usually obtained observations at two different levels while with a wind profiler instrument there may be tens of observation levels.

Many Vertical Wind Tunnel designs currently in use do not provide airspeeds high enough to satisfy skydivers. Also, poor jet uniformity makes some Vertical Wind Tunnels more difficult to fly in, and jet diameters are usually not wide enough for a four-way team. Even 2-way is difficult for experienced skydivers in most designs.

There are no technical barriers to installing offshore turbines but the construction, delivery to site and assembly of such large machines needs specialist equipment and vessels, facilities at ports and careful timetabling to make sure that the possibilities of using calm weather windows are maximised. Most UK developments have been installed using steel monopiles, but projects in other countries have used gravity foundations.

There is a very good book on this subject, 'Wind Power Workshop' by Hugh Piggott, available from the Centre for Alternative Technology. For a brief idea of what is involved see how to build your own wind turbine. However, as with all technical and potentially dangerous equipment, most people should buy commercially manufactures and professionally tested machines.
