- Honda opened a new $124 million state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility, I was honored to get a sneak peek inside. I was there to film & Here is s full tour of the most advanced Wind Tunnel in the world.
Honda is ushering in a new era of development testing capabilities for Honda and Acura products, as well as the company's race vehicles. The new Honda Automotive Laboratories of Ohio (HALO) facility, located at the independent Transportation Research Center Inc. (TRC) in Central Ohio, is the world's most advanced wind tunnel, with three separate state-of-the art testing functions - aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and racing all in one location.
Here are some more fun facts
- Investment
$124 million
-Facility size
110,000 square feet
1/8-mile wind tunnel circuit
3/4 Open Test Section
3 meters x 5 meters x 15 meters
-Test Capabilities
Aerodynamic
Aeroacoustic
Motorsports/Racing
-Less than one hour to change to acoustic mode
-Variable Nozzle Area
25 square meters = 250 kph (155 mph)
18 square meters = 310 kph (192 mph)
-Heat exchanger temperature range
10-50 degrees Celsius
(50-122 degrees Fahrenheit)
Maintaining constant temperature
-Fan Specifications

Series of acoustic arrays: top, front, sides, and interior
502 external directional microphones and cameras
54 internal microphones (inside cabin for sound source
detection)
-Turntable
Diameter 12 meters
180-degree rotation
(Most wind tunnels rotate only + / - 15 degrees)
Modular ground plane system
Two 40-ton belt modules
5-belt: one belt under each vehicle tire and one larger belt under vehicle center
Wide belt: one large belt under vehicle
Max speed of 310 kph (193 mph)
Acoustic cover
Module changeover takes approx. 4 hours
Balance (scale):
Measures Aerodynamic Load
3-Axis Load Cell in Tower
Drag Force Sensitivity = +/- 2.5 Newtons (2.5 N) (about the
weight of one standard D battery)
Traverse System

That gives a new meaning to the phrase "I'm your biggest fan".
hahahahaha
Great video. Honda is always looking to the future.
Truly amazing what Honda can and does.
i agree and so much we don’t realize that engineers do.
@@HondaProJason very true. Props to the Honda engineers for doing outstanding work.
This is an Amazing work. I love our Company TLT-Turbo supplying the new technology advice on Tunnel Main Fan.
awesome! thanks for the info.
This was so impressive, its been a few months and I’m still talking about it!
So if u stood behind it were engine waa and iwantwd hear it would u be able to or would the air pull u out or does it depend which way they do blades
Who got it better then Honda Pro Jason!! That was great unbelievable.
thank you so much
Great Honda. Thanks you Jason
This is insane engineering
Super cool video!
thats honestly horrifying to look so close to that gigant fan
Do you actually it’s scarier for me to watch it and it was to film it
Mike is amazing :) , he showed us around today !!
Honda brand should have a Badass production car. Isn't the Civic type R their hottest model? They need to bring back their original high performance model the Prelude. Update with a 6cyl turbo that competes with the current Toyota Supra and the all new Nissan Z
Wind tunnels are traditionally used for testing aircraft rather than cars & the main fan is the same as on a jet engine.
Awesome !!! 💖💖💖
Very impressive!!
TOY!!! Damn I want one.
Dude .. bro... Man.... Amazing Hollywood Honda pro💨 in Ohio 🤔
I go where the Hondas are ;-)
You need to plug a noise gate/compressor in your video editing software. It will help normalize the audio dbs and make it so we don't have to mess with volume the entire video.
i will look at one Thank You
I love this video🙂
Incredible 💪🏻🇨🇷
Wish you had hair! You're in the know, pal!
That definitely would’ve made the wind tunnel experience more epic lol
@@HondaProJason love your work, man. This facility kicks ass. Did they tell you how much power it takes to run the heat exchanger?
@@samcurrie3367 That is one question I did not ask
That fan was big as hell. Imagine looking at it and it kicks on and their is no escape and just knowing ur gonna be chopped to bits. Trying to run away but the suction is just too powerful to overcome. But don’t worry lockout tag out will prevent any of this bullshit
Windspeed in the fan section is only 40mph at full throttle. You wouldn't be sucked in
10:08 that's what she said
Why always the wind tunnel fans are so fricking big?! 🤔
I have a fan from my work when they used it eventually the pool chain came off in the office position because it’s a con when you have a pool chain and not a knob switch to go between the teaspoons, but basically… I was going to fix it and use it at work because the fans they have there and they are the exact same except for two new ones there at 10 larger actually in large or a 24 inch instead of 18 inch, a little bit louder but basically a lot louder basically there in between their original and basically had a medium in terms of sound but basically I need something like this I can’t like the wall he explain exchanger because I was going to turn it into a heater to use at work but also I want something to keep me cool in the summertime and not just suck the hot air through and push/blow it out so this will/wound be perfect. I hve some ideas lke cool spiral duping that connects to a ftn pump that’s in a little tube box thing on the sde that just blends into the hosing, but on either the front or back, maybe back so water wind get sucked in and mess it up even though it’s somewhat enclosed in terms if it’s missing the little back cover whege utd oscillate, so it just sticks out like the little axel thng but hve a coil on it that can either plug into an out jst on the housing for the previous walk fan tht blows 20 smthng mph, bt thn from there/their mke it to where the heater hears up either from an outlet installed on it or hve ut just plug into the wall and if it’s too expensive to hve a an outlet wired thn I’d jst mke it to where it plug into the wall and jst plugs into the wall whch I could do or so. Bt honestly others could use it too, thn the boss would think/say, is tht the fan I was gonna throw out😦😦😦🤯🤯🤯😱😱😱thn turn the others in to heat maybe try cooling but since it’s a wall thing and water wth electrical safety thn just heat function or so or if/unless it could be xn the front or so, nt I mean lke still,/…I thnk tht thtd be pretty cxxl I mean you/ya knxw
I think you went a little to hard on the little blue 30s man, just take it easy brotha.....
👍👍👍
that's *literally* a jet engine
Ok now tell us the type r numbers
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. 😘🫡💌 Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savior??? I do. Thank you that we shall not only inherit the wind. I pray for healing over the times we did. I pray for healing of our air and lungs in the one new man in the name of Jesus Christ. Who died and gave himself up for us. One new man in Christ without spit or blemish. Amen. ✝️Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savior??? I do. ❤❤❤🤍🤍🤍🪝🪝🪝🙏🙏🙏
Bt still,/…ths stuff on either eyed or jst 1/one side of the housing mght mke it better bxuse everything would be protected. My sstr thnk surs a waist, she and tht you could jst buy 1/one fr cheaper by I’d rather fix it for cheap lke, well I dnt wanna say exactly bxuse thn it’s lke where tf does it end, (somewhat off topic) lke king of queens his wife told him to keep mid wk open, so he did, thn later she says tht whatever it was she needed him to keep mid week omen for, it was basically ginna me on Thursday but he said no mid week is Wednesday thn she says no mid week is Wednesday or Thursday, well if your gonna use that logic logic then you gotta include Tuesday, where does it end, and basically that’s why I’m not ginna say an exact number, I mean with her and my dad I’ve said like 10-20-30 or 40 or so to fix up vs 200 to 300 something new or so, but still,/…I’d rather jus fix it up for cheap
I would take the NSX over any modern Ferrari, Lamborghini, and GTR but not a Porsche.
