Tornado test.
How powerful are EF5 level tornadoes? These are the two cars modified by the deadly duo chasing the tornado, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, which survived unscathed at winds of up to 275 kilometers per hour made by Boeing 747 engines. Looking at their screaming expressions, Adam and Jamie decided to directly increase the wind speed to 402 kilometers, which is equivalent to an EF5-level tornado, and it is also the highest level of tornado, which can easily destroy houses.
Soon, another ordinary life-saving vehicle arrived at the scene, and as the engine turned, a strong wind blew towards it. At this time, even the old iron that drinks the northwest wind every day cannot withstand such a strong wind. Erli had already hid in the corner of the wall and shivered, and the life-saving car was easily blown down 76 meters away, and the hood disappeared directly into the clouds.
Next is the performance time of Wolong and Phoenix. Everyone was very apprehensive, and no one knew if these two iron guys could withstand such a fierce wind.
At first they could still stand still majestically, but it didn't take long for Wolong to hold on, and the spikes stuck in the dirt did not resist the thrust of the wind, and the vehicle was blown away, fortunately a hydraulic baffle was added, otherwise the vehicle would definitely be overturned. After testing, the hydraulic rod anchor nail pierced into the ground by Wolong was actually directly deformed, and this anchor nail could withstand a pressure of 4309 kg, and it was actually blown and bent at this time. I have to say that the F5 level tornado is really fierce! Next, they began to think about whether there was a lighter piece of equipment that could hide from tornadoes in the wild.
Soon Adam listed the key elements, first of all, to be able to prevent being blown away by the wind, secondly, to be able to block flying debris to avoid injury, and also to be able to cope with the changing wind direction, so he initially designed a bowl-shaped device, and at the same time added a wing-like object on it, which can add a downward force in the wind to ensure that the entire device will not be blown away by the wind.
Then came the development phase, where he brought in several blowers to simulate tornadoes and tested bowl-shaped, conical, funnel-shaped objects, but none of them were stable. And Jamie's side seems to think differently. He considered that a standing person could easily be blown down, and if he lay on the ground, he would be exposed to the wind in the smallest area, but if the ground was smooth, it would still be blown away. But this also inspired him to use the wind to increase friction with the ground?
After a period of research, he finally came up with a workable solution. There is an anchor nail at the bottom of this device that can grasp the ground When the wind blows, the wedge of the head will use the wind to generate a downward force to press the anchor nail into the ground. At the same time, this anchor nail also acts as a support shaft. With the assistance of the tail wing, it can swing with a change in wind direction. At the same time, this wedge-shaped equipment also provides protection, and it is also very convenient to carry, putting away like a backpack.
When he unveiled the plan, others were surprised. Jamie is a god and a man. Next, they found various materials and began making one-to-one life-size test products, and soon a giant cloak was born.
To test its ability to withstand debris, they first tested it with a dummy, and the fired wood bounced off by an alloy steel plate on its head. After that, Adam wore a helmet and experienced it for himself, and there was no problem, but it was not clear whether the exposed feet would be scratched by debris. Then they were going to test it in strong winds. This thing is indeed like a backpack and very convenient to carry. When a tornado is detected coming, it can be assembled in situ.
In order to facilitate the comparison, Adam decided to try the risk and stand in the wind to experience the power of the wind himself. The driver starts only 20% of the power at first. After that, it gradually increased, and when the wind speed reached 193 kilometers per hour, Adam could still stand, but when the wind speed reached 209, he was blown away by the wind.
Next, it was the turn of the wind shield cloak to play, although the wind speed had reached 209, Jamie still did not move, but the rear wing behind kept swaying from side to side, and it was estimated that Jamie's butt was beaten a little painfully. But then something happened and the entire wind shield was completely torn apart, and Jamie was completely exposed to the strong wind. The wind shield really escaped, isn't this a study of loneliness?
Then they made some improvements, removing the tail, and the wind shield remained motionless in the 290 per hour wind, which is equivalent to an F4 Tornado.
By the end of the experiment, Jamie's legs were soft, and he said it was really scary. In the face of such a strong wind, everything you do is in vain, you can only firmly grasp the wind shield and hope that it will hold.
So old irons, do you think that under a real tornado, this equipment can really resist?
