Let's just hope it stays "interesting!" It looks like we've obtained most of
what we need to begin design as far as where components should be placed, but
shapes and sizes are still a bit unclear. With the book recommendations I've
recieved, I'll be checking out the library (we don't have the best one
around, but it might have SOMEthing), ebay, and amazon.com.
I plan to have a pitot of some sort, and it looks like there are a few smoke
generators out there for visualization. And, of course, tests will be
photographed for the most part!


Thanks for your help..

<< Hi Tony,
 That's one interesting project you have got there! Here is web site:
 http://www.aerolab.com. It is a company that manufactures/builds wind
 tunnels. They have some nice pictures in their website.
 And check this out(NASA's):
 http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/BGA/Dan/wind_tunnel_int.htm
 you may find it useful! They have beginers guide to aeronautics etc.
 They talk about <A
HREF="http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/bern.html">Bernoulli's
Equation</A> etc.

 Remember the pitot tube when you build the wind tunnel. (I forgot the
 chemicals someone once suggested for visualizing flow patterns :-( ).
 ...and use a webcam to catch the flow patterns...! How beautiful Physics is!

 Goodluck!
