can you fart in it?

@elvedin555 What's a good idea! But I can't. Please build your own tunnel then try to do it by yourself and don't forget to let us know on your channel :)

@bcstractor Next time, I will try to build as a real tunnel : )

This is not a wind tunnel - it's a square tube.

This isn't a proper wind tunnel it doesn't have proper air flow going through the wind tunnel that you can measure air pressure on something like a plane.

I have cope of queries like how much did the material cost and where can i get them ( preferably via ebay )

@bcstractor I am starting on a circular wind tunnel now...but I looked at some examples from Nasa and some of theirs were squarish....also looked at the math....so difficult!! I will sure to let you know. thanks for the advice :)

I've seen the Wright brothers wind tunnel and yes it has a square tube as do my and many other wind tunnels. It also has a large radiused flare into the opening and others have a tapering throat. The purpose it to get the air so it flows straight at the entry to the "Square tube". Having a "Square tube alone means that the air in the tube is turbulent and at all different angles -= just as you can see in this video. It is therefore quite worthless as a wind tunnel.
