This is a quick showcase and demonstration of my homemade wind tunnel for my final high school project.
If you are interested in learning more information, have any questions, or are starting your own wind tunnel, feel free to leave a comment or contact me at:

This tunnel is not perfect, and I don't claim that it is. It was a fun project that took about two weeks of 6-7 hours a day of work to complete.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for sharing. I’m making an air tunnel for a class I’m taking right now and this was able to help me figure out something I wasn’t able to before. Great work man keep it up!

@jameswadhwani7023 2 года назад

Glad to help! Good luck!

Great homemade tunnel! Very impressive!

@aquafox8732 Год назад

Highschool proyect, I've would do this for college, great work!

@shafiemukhre Год назад

This is amazing!

Thanks man, a friend of mine and I are also building a windtunnel for measuring drag and lift on cars. It is also a high school project, but compared to you pretty primitive :P. Thanks for showing us the lift measuring device. That gave us some pretty good inspiration. Keep up the good work man!

Thanks!

@tasneemzoghol1729 Год назад

This is great! I was wondering if you can explain the circuitry part and how I can get the measurements of lift and drag the way you did. What did you use and how did you put it together. It would really be great help I'm also working on a project and need help as soon as possible. Thanks

Thanks for the explanation of some of the details 👏 and for the whole video 👍

Quite impressive you built this in only two weeks. What about adding advanced visualization techniques like pressure sensitive paint, IR thermography, and shadowgraph? Might not show much but create pretty pictures to impress people. Seems the tunnel overall fairly quiet, does it add much heat to the room after long duration of running?

@jameswadhwani7023 4 месяца назад

Not much heat is added to the room. Great ideas! Thanks for the view!

Nice job!

@jameswadhwani7023 4 месяца назад

Thank you!

@amusingwheener1225 Год назад

This video is very useful however im just wondering what you used to let you see the lift and drag

@emix4507 Месяц назад

You not getting the theoretical results might be due to the not matching Reynolds number. In any case that's a great project, thanks for sharing !

@sunid8346 Год назад

Hi, thank you very much for sharing this video. I'm currently working on an extended essay regarding angle of attack and lift. I was wondering if there were any sources/guidelines you followed to build this wind tunnel?

@jameswadhwani7023 Год назад

Hi Sunid, I referenced many sources throughout this build. Mainly however I referenced the "Coggan Low-Speed Wind Tunnel" by Andrew R. Coggan, and took much inspiration from his design.

@amultitaskingperson 3 месяца назад

you could try putting a humidifier module at the end of the funnel along with some leds to be able to see the wind, otherwise great vid :)

@jameswadhwani7023 2 месяца назад

Great idea. I would definitely do flow vis next time I work on a tunnel. Thanks for waching!

@kapilchhabria1727 5 месяцев назад

Hey James, could you share some details on how you constructed the load arm? and is there an off the shelf sensor you used to input the data into the microcontroller?

@jameswadhwani7023 4 месяца назад

Feel free to email me at jamespkwadhwani@gmail.com. I’d be happy to help!

@yasminwadhwani7617 Год назад

This is incredible!

@GiulioVonKerman 9 месяцев назад

Thanks- I wanted to build a wind tunnel for flow visualisation. Any tips for making a smaller one?

@jameswadhwani7023 4 месяца назад

You could use cardboard or wood, use a smaller fan, and have a large contraction cone to draw in air. Additionally, you could use a 2d airfoil system that is attached to each wall of the test section. Good luck!

@khaliltorku9570 4 месяца назад

is it too much you ask of you for contact info so i could get a list of materials?? This is very interesting and me and my best friend just out of high school as well are trying to build our own

@jameswadhwani7023 4 месяца назад

Contact me for questions at jamespkwadhwani@gmail.com. I’d be happy to help!

@karandeepsingh8498 Год назад

Hey, thank you for sharing such a great know and your build, we have one wind tunnel at our institute but the equipment is not working in it for data collection, could you just guide me how you used load cells for measuring the lift and other parameters and how you changed angle of attack, I know it's your design you can't share details, if you just guide me or any sources that I should follow for it it'll great and grateful to you. :) ..

@jameswadhwani7023 4 месяца назад

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I used load cells to measure lift/drag and had a servo that changed angle of attack. Not sure how you would measure lift/drag without load cells

@ReRy09 2 месяца назад

Hello! I am also in high school and my friend and I are planning one out. My question is how would you construct the contraction cone part with the curve going on two axes going narrower and curving in? Thank you for looking this over.

@jameswadhwani7023 2 месяца назад

Hey there, I found the curve that I needed, then had a friend print out the curve on large sheets of paper that were to-scale. I then taped this to mat board and cut them out by hand. I did this four times, then taped and glued them together so they all curved inward. Good luck!

@user-sq8ul6up6p Год назад

Hi, do you have any documentation to build this? It would be a great help if you can share. Thanks

@jameswadhwani7023 4 месяца назад

Have a look at my instructables page: www.instructables.com/Subsonic-Wind-Tunnel/ Otherwise, feel free to email me with questions at jameskwadhwani@gmail.com

@jericoadesas285 Год назад

Good day bro, is there any CAD files that you can give us for more information about your wind tunnel.

@jameswadhwani7023 4 месяца назад

Have a look at my instructables page: www.instructables.com/Subsonic-Wind-Tunnel/ I don't have CAD files, but I do have instructions for building. Good luck

@AndrewStewart Месяц назад

I and another college student are currently building one for a school project. We are using the Bell-Mehta 5th degree polynomial as well for our inlet, but are having trouble finding materials to fit the curve we want. What materials did you use to ensure it was accurate?

@jameswadhwani7023 Месяц назад

I used mat board. It’s like a thick paper that you can easily bend without breaking. Best of luck
