The Slow Mo Guys, Dan and Gav, visit the Horiba Mira full-scale wind tunnel in Nuneaton, England, to test themselves against 80mph winds. They start by standing in the tunnel, struggling to maintain their balance and experiencing intense air pressure. They then conduct various experiments, including testing the effect of rain on their faces and attempting to blow up a balloon in the wind tunnel. The highlight of the video is when Dan tries to inflate a condom as a makeshift "wind sock" in the tunnel, which ends in a hilarious and chaotic outcome. The duo then attempts a world-first "sport" by trying to ride a skateboard powered by a wind-inflated balloon. The video ends with a nod to the talented camera operators who captured the footage amidst the challenging conditions, and a thank you to Horiba Mira for providing access to the wind tunnel.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The experiment was conducted at the Horiba Mira full scale wind tunnel in Nuneaton, England.
2. The wind tunnel can produce wind speeds of up to 80 miles per hour.
3. The tunnel sucks air out instead of blowing it, which creates a more stable and controlled environment.
4. The crew and equipment were tethered down to prevent them from being blown away.
5. The experiment involved testing the effects of wind on the human body, including the effect of 80 mph winds on the face and body.
6. Water was used to simulate rain, and a bucket was used to toss water at the subject.
7. A balloon was used to test the effect of wind on a lightweight object.
8. The balloon was inflated by the wind and stretched to its limits before bursting.
9. A new sport was proposed, involving a wind-powered skateboard propelled by a balloon.
10. The experiment was conducted using a Phantom camera, which is a high-speed camera capable of capturing slow-motion footage.
11. The propellers used in the wind tunnel are from a World War II bomber.
12. The experiment was conducted by the Slow Mo Guys, a group known for their slow-motion videos.
