Skydiving wind tunnels simulate free-fall conditions by generating a vertical column of air that allows individuals to experience the sensation of skydiving indoors. Powerful fans draw air through the tunnel and accelerate it, creating a controlled airflow that can be adjusted for speed. Participants are suspended in this airflow, where they can practice body positioning and maneuvers in a safe environment. The tunnel's design ensures a stable and consistent airflow, allowing for realistic skydiving experiences.

What is empirical tolerance?

Empirical tolerance is a phrase used to describe someone being OK with something through observation and experience rather than theory or pure logic. An example would be a mother who allows her minor son to go skydiving because she has already done it.


Is wind energy an example of industrial biotechnology?

No, wind energy is not an example of industrial biotechnology. Wind energy involves harnessing wind power to generate electricity through turbines, which is primarily a renewable energy technology. Industrial biotechnology, on the other hand, focuses on using biological systems and organisms to develop products and processes, such as biofuels, bioplastics, and pharmaceuticals. While both fields contribute to sustainable practices, they operate within different scientific and technological domains.


What purpose of wind tunnel test for car?

Wind tunnel tests for cars are conducted to evaluate aerodynamic performance, helping to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency. These tests allow engineers to analyze airflow patterns around the vehicle, identify potential areas of turbulence, and optimize design elements for better stability and handling. Additionally, they help in assessing the impact of wind on vehicle noise and overall performance at various speeds. Ultimately, wind tunnel testing contributes to enhancing safety and performance while maximizing fuel economy.


Were coal mines safe during Industrial Revolution?

No, they were not. As mines got deeper the risks of roof collapses, poisonous gases, accidents and lung cancer became a very high risk. The pressure and weight of the earth and coal became heavier so they would sometimes cause the wooden beams supporting the tunnels collapse. The ventilation problem caused poisonous gases to enter the tunnels were men were working, it caused choke damp and suffocating. Also, some of the gases were highly explosive and even the smallest spark would cause them to explode. Accidents happened when miners banged there heads on the wooden beams and fell and got knocked down by falling rocks or by the trams. Lung disease was cause by inhaling the coal dust.

How many injuries per year in indoor skydiving?

The number depends on the type of tunnel. There were a reported 12,817 injuries from indoor skydiving tunnels worldwide last year with all of them resulting from tunnels with fans at the bottom, including those made by BodyFlying Airodium AG in Switzerland, Aerodium Technologies in Latvia, Portable Wind Tunnels, LLC and Vertical Wind Tunnel Corporation in United States, Free Flight in Australia (which has since closed its tunnel). Open top wind tunnels are the most dangerous and vortex producing tunnels like those found in Shanghai, China, Las Vegas, Nevada, and in some amusement parks are increasingly dangerous. Many deaths have occurred from people falling over the side or down the sides or dropping quickly when the turbine, which is located at the bottom or sides, shuts off. Here is a video of what ended up being a very bad accident. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxh2gy_sFFU The only safe vertical wind tunnels are those operated by SkyVentures, PacAirVentures, and under the brand name iFLY. There have been no reported incidents of insurance claims in their more than 10 year history. This is largely due to the design and safety measures built into their tunnels. It may also be due to their extensive training of instructors, two of which are present for every flight.
