NoShitThereIWas 0 #1 November 2, 2003 NoShitThereIWas, looking under "skydiving" on EBay. Someone in Iowa is selling a Wind Tunnel. I think the starting bid was $50K and it has a reserve price. Hmmmm. Just thought that was interesting. Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyDave 0 #3 November 2, 2003 i just saw it... the bid is still US $50,000.00 . its a portable one! this guy is really trying to the thing... he's written almost a page on how great it would be to 'to wake up in the morning and say to yourself I can’t wait to go to work. Well when you own a portable wind tunnel it is like that every day' its pretty funny dnt ya think. what is one of those worth anyway? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #6 November 3, 2003 That is an almost identical copy of the one the "Extremo" guys had at Rantoul. Only difference I see is that they towed theirs with a Semi tractor and I believe their running gear was enclosed a bit more. That is a very loud machine. It was absolutely fast enough that the tunnel rats were flying head-down in it. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivejersey 0 #7 November 3, 2003 From the pics tho it seems only big enough to get one person in at a time. And the baggy suit makes me believe it is not that powerful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
