Fabricating a simple fan system for small low speed wind tunnel and studying the parameter for frequency adjustment

Wind tunnel fan frequently come without control box or instrument especially for axial fan that widely sell in the market. This may lead to unfavourable condition which the fan speed could not be remote. We may severally found the fan that could be control by some fix parameter option such as veloci...
