Wind Tunnel - Motor Sports (gambling)


When a team wants to test any aerodynamic changes it does so in a "wind tunnel". When a car is in the tunnel it is set up with the wheels on four pads hooked to data gathering instruments that feeds into Computers. Pressure measurements are also taken from tiny orificies on the car. All data is analyzed, the team makes adjustments and the process is repeated. The tunnel used by the majority of teams is the LFST (Langley Full-Scale Tunnel), at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, VA. Teams pay $ 1,400 per hour to rent the tunnel and often spend from 12 hours to two days on a single car. Fortunately, dimensions can be calculated and duplicated again on Other cars.
