I'm a student at a community college that was gifted a wind tunnel by a local uni. I'm leading a group of 5+ engineering / science students to refurbish and tune it.
The testing chamber is around 12 x 5 x 5 inches, and we have free reign to do anything we'd like. We've had some ideas like testing different aspects of paper airplane design, drag of car bodies, designing air foils, resonance frequency failures, chemistry reactions at different wind speeds, etc. Most of us have a year before we transfer.
Q1) Do you have any ideas for experiments a group of engineers and science majors would love?However, we'd also like to be able to put something impressive down for our applications to internships / REUs / grad school.
Q2) What can we do with this that will look awesome on a resume? For example, could we publish a paper on tuning it, or paper airplane designs?
Additional comments / thoughts are welcome. Thank you!
