Hello,

Is there people amongst you who have ever dealt with Wind Tunnel testing?

I cannot find a special section for experiments in this forum...


I have a few topic to launch!

Thanks...
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
This would be the place.
 
hi all,

i dealt with wind tunnel testing for my degree thesis, couple years back.
my thesis title was "Tunnel Correction for Semi-Span Model Testing in Low Speed Wind Tunnel".

maybe i can contribute what i learned about wind tunnel w u guys.
 
What is the problem
 
force balance design

My son and I have built a 4 foot Baals-design wind tunnel. Does anyone know of a good force balance design to use to measure lift. The test section is 10" long by 7" high.
 
hi
What kind of information you need.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
