Simulating a hurricane in a TV studio

Lots of wind and top entertainment thanks to the greatest mobile wind machine in the world

In their ratings hit "Mein bester Feind" broadcasted on Pro7 Joko and Klaas relied on high-performance technology from Trotec

When Joko and Klaas duel around the world or ensure top viewing rates in another show, the willing audience knows they are often dealing with borderline experiences in extreme situations. The same is true for the popular TV programme "Mein bester Feind" [My best fiend] which is produced in a film studio and demands a great deal from the participants by way of an obstacle course: the challenges they have to face range from mental arithmetic to skill exercises to peak athletic performances. And Trotec's axial fan TTW 400000 – the world's largest mobile wind machine – played a central role ...


Fighting against the wind

It can be compared to the proverbial "tempest in a teacup" when proper gale-force winds are simulated in a hermetically sealed film studio at a moment's notice. And there is only one device capable of accomplishing this task: the TTW 400000. With a maximum air flow rate of 432,000 m³/h it achieves a wind speed of 100.8 km/h which corresponds to roughly 28 metres per second. Hats off to the candidates, who, with this strong headwind, firstly have more or less managed to keep their balance and then, too, have read a text from the teleprompter while speaking into a microphone.

Perfectly staged

A wind machine or axial fan can circulate large air volumes with resistances as low as possible. The huge TTW 400000 with its length of at least 2.50 metres and a height of more than 2.70 metres is a German quality product which is provided with an extremely robust transport frame design and which, because of its IP55 type of protection, can be used flexibly in indoor and outdoor applications.
