Where to Conduct Wind Tunnel Experiments in the Midwest United States

AI Thread Summary
A high school student in Wisconsin is seeking access to a wind tunnel for airfoil experiments but faces challenges due to a lack of university affiliation. They have reached out to the University of Michigan but find scheduling difficult. The student is willing to travel up to 12 hours to access a wind tunnel and is considering options in several nearby states, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, and potentially Canada. A suggestion was made to explore facilities in Madison as a possible option for conducting the experiments.

I live in Wisconsin and I am looking for a wind tunnel where I can conduct a number of airfoil experiments. Since I am in high school, I am not yet affiliated with a university, so it is difficult for me to get in touch with lab technicians at universities. I have successfully contacted the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, but the scheduling looks like it will be difficult. If anyone has any advise or contact info that would help me gain access to a wind tunnel, that would be greatly appreciated.

I am really devoted to this line of research so I would be willing to drive up to 12 (or so) hours to get to a university. I would consider any wind tunnels within the following states: Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota (and maybe even in Canada).

Thank you

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
