Miniature Model Wind Tunnels

The 'Windsible' Desktop Wind Tunnel Comes in Three Sizes

— July 11, 2024 — Life-Stages
The 'Windsible' desktop wind tunnel is an accessory for avid model car collectors and enthusiasts alike to use as a way to observe their favorite models in a new way.

The unit works by having the model car positioned inside before being powered up and used with a fog cartridge to start the process. The system is controlled via a built-in knob that will let users select their choice of scale wind speed with a top speed of 260mph. A series of LEDs inside the display compartment enable the user to admire the various contours and design attributes of the model during the process.

The 'Windsible' desktop wind tunnel comes in three sizes that are being offered through a Kickstarter campaign.
