Inside the Win Tunnel

Taking a break from testing all things aero, Chris and Mark take you through what makes our wind tunnel, the Win Tunnel.

When you Chris walked to those fans, my eyes and mind went a bit crazy. haha! That was a good optical illusion!

[golferchin]

Thanks for the video. Quit amazed by it, every detail, curve. This feels like a cutting edge wind tunnel. They don't build wind tunnels much anymore.

[TheFactaa]

Great videos guys! I'm surprised you don't have more views. Keep it up and I'm sure the views will come. Thanks!

[AdamWarrix]

Why did you choose an open tunnel rather than a closed curcuit tunnel?

[ClimberCon]

As a Mechanical Engineer myself who's dissertation was on wind tunnel testing, how do you land such an awesome job? :)

[EeroSoralahti]

To the untrained eye, a regular BMX helmet looks pretty much like some of the non-tail aero helmets, and they only cost a fraction of the price. Would you have some insights how these helmets compare in reality against regular road helmets, aero road helmets and ultimately TT-helmets?

[jamesmorris]

Can you test where is the best place to have your bottle. Front battle cage or back.

Thanks

[thuban]

I have a question, has Allez DSW Sprint ever been in The Win Tunnel?

[davidwill]

Mmmm, all that carbon on the back wall, im in love

[miketaylor]

Does humidity affect aerodynamics? So here in Indiana where it can be 90% humidity verses Las Vegas, with very little humidity, where would I be faster with the same set up?

[donrhummy]

Can you show us a test of drafting from riders in front based on how they sit? (Hands on tops, drops, etc)

[minidini]

What brand of motors are those? I work with Baldor motors a lot and find them to be the best. And I take it you're running a VFD on those?

[chris]

are roval wheels mor aero than zipp wheels?

[TheWaldowski]

I see Chris and Mark's jobs are Aero R&D, I'm just wondering what type of degree's they have and at what level (undergrad, masters, etc.)

[cyclingchantal]

Is there a difference when the bike is mounted or just on rollers? When you ride your bike, your bike moves sideways too.

[scottmurphy]

Can you do some tests on mountain bikes

[Demon-_-]

I would like to see some real world test on all there findings. As i feel the hug time saving for saved legs is not a real world figure. They could do test at a sustained 200watt or 150 and then shave and see the diffrence

[BurnDuration]

A gram is a mass NOT a force. Also the air velocity profile is not uniform from wall to wall--the velocity profile is parabolic from wall surface and outwards.

[corytompkin]

You should strap on some wings and hold onto a rope attached to both walls.

Chris Yu needs to stop asking ending?

Every sentence?

With a question mark?
