Aerodynamic Based Wind Tunnel
An electronics-driven wind tunnel system for engineering colleges and research labs that demonstrates aerodynamic principles including airflow behavior, drag, lift, and angle of attack in a controlled environment.
- Variable fan speed control for airflow regulation
- Fog generation module for visualizing airflow patterns
- Angle variation mechanism to simulate angle of attack
- Centralized electronic control of all subsystems
- Safe and compact design for lab and classroom use
Aerodynamic concepts such as airflow behavior, drag, lift, and angle of attack are difficult to understand through theory alone. Most educational setups lack a compact and integrated platform that can visually demonstrate these principles in real time.
Oxymora designed an Aerodynamic Based Wind Tunnel that integrates multiple electronic and mechanical modules into one system. The setup allows controlled airflow using fan speed control, fog generation for airflow visualization, and an adjustable angle variation module.
- High-speed fans with electronic speed controllers
- Fog generation module
- Angle variation and mechanical adjustment system
- Embedded microcontroller
- Power electronics and protection circuitry
- Embedded C/C++
- Motor speed control algorithms
- Synchronized module control logic
Simplified learning of complex aerodynamic concepts. Enabled hands-on experimentation for students. Provided a single-platform demonstration system. Enhanced practical understanding in engineering education.
