Modular Wind Tunnel

Devlog #3

V1.5 of Model Design

I created the first attachment for the wind tunnel, which was the fan intake setup. This attachment was designed specifically to fit my JisuLife Handheld Fan Life7 so it can be used as the airflow source for this project.

I designed a custom mount to hold the fan in position and used a chamfered transition to create a smoother airflow path from the smaller circular fan outlet into the 200mm × 200mm wind tunnel airflow channel.

This keeps the fan system modular and allows different airflow sources to be used in the future.

V1.3 - V1.4 of Model Design

I changed the original one large model into separate modules including:
-Fan module
-Flow straightener module
-Test module
-Exit module
-End module

I designed the modules so that they were all attachable to each other and would have a connection system, now they have the same lip with screw holes that attach together.

Note: I will be adding airflow openings and internal sections will be added in next version

V1.0 - V1.2 of model design
today was the first day i started working on this project, i created the main tunnel structure (800mm 250 x 250 area. i added areas where i could put a clear piece of material along with screw holes for it to be mounted too. there is also a area to mount the different models inside the test area. i decided i wanted to make this modular so i could have different test area’s for different types of things i am testing. i did some planning on the parts i will use in the future.
