# Toy Car Aerodynamic Systems The Miniature Wind Tunnel to Show Off Toy Car Collections By Amy Duong | Published 2024-08-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-wind-tunnel References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2024/08/05/tabletop-wind-tunnel-lets-you-run-aerodynamic-tests-on-your-entire-die-cast-toy-car-collection/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1053593589/windsible-desktop-wind-tunnel-for-your-diecast-car-models)  Jayden Han and Jarvis Jiang designed a new Miniature Wind Tunnel system that houses and displays [toy car collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-car-1). Dubbed the Windsible, it allows users to perform the exact tests that engineers do on real cars that were launched. It rests on top of a table and comes in three varying sizes depending on toy car scales. The smallest size starts at 1:64 and it is suitable for [Hot Wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-and-daniel-arsham) and other matchbox cars. The next size up is a 1:24 scale and finally, a large 1:18 scale that is developed for larger car models. The front fogger generates smoke which creates a visual aerodynamic drag in real time and the lights at the back turn on a bright red.
