This is cool. The tunnel has a 10' wide belt of steel that's 1mm thick on an air cushion bearing. The car is strapped down and brought up to 180 MPH. THEN the fan is turned on! The aerodynamics are different if the car is still than if it's moving -- a static car can't demonstrate what the air is doing underneath the body when it's moving.

Very cool. I'd love to see it in action. I'll be they're going to be making a lot of money with this thing.
