When we play something, we only feed our eyes and ears. We don’t feel the wind in the bush, the smell of corpses, the waves of the sea, the recoil of weapons and the like. But everything can be solved!
As much as we might enjoy whizzing past 300km/h in Forza, our body has absolutely none of it. No acceleration, overloading, crushing brakes with eyes on the hood or instant stopwatch against the wall. If only we could feel the wind in our hair while driving! And lo and behold, there is a solution. After all, this Indian do-it-yourselfer has already produced crazy things like realistic gun recoil or horse hooves that will overturn your table. Now he made another improver, namely a wind simulator for racing fires.
A giant fan with a diameter of one meter with a flow of 13500 CFM was enough for him. With the help of Arduino, he then controlled the speed of the fan depending on the speed of the car in the game. I had to laugh when the fan first blew out his speakers and then at higher speed the monitor. But that was done by the classic and proven duct tape, which even NASA can’t improve. The whole circus invention is of course just for fun, but if we already have commercial vibration abseils (Synk X), why not also simulators of wind, water or stench? Huh?
