“Our moonwalk equivalent” is how one National Instruments worker describes the colossal effort to provide hundreds of thousands of ventilators to hospitals.QUARC real-time control software has 400+ blocks. Thuvishan's favourite is Video Capture "because it helps visually interact with the real-world surrounding. Once you acquire a live video stream using the video capture block, the range of applications that you can explore is seemingly endless. Examples range from basic image processing to more advanced tasks such as object detection and tracking, which really makes our products exciting to use." What is your #FavouriteQUARCblock ?

In this video we will be demonstrating the Bench-Top Subsonic Wind Tunnel, the AF1125 from TecQuipment. This is an ultra-compact teaching wind tunnel that offers a complete system ready for experimentation into the principles of aerodynamics.

Learning the basics of aerodynamics such as lift and drag are important for understanding the theory of flight in aircraft, but are also important in the design of other vehicles such as cars and boats and even the likes of wind turbines.
If you are introducing students to the topic of aerodynamics and space is an issue, the smallest of TecQuipment’s subsonic wind tunnels, the AF115 is a great start. Watch the video just published here. youtu.be/HxBw59ovXpQ #Aerodynamics #EngineeringEducation
