Japan built equipment to simulate the phenomenon of water cannon

Scientists from the Ministry of Transport, Institute of Architectural Science, Tokyo University and Kyoto University of Japan have cooperated to create devices to simulate the phenomenon of water hoses.

This device has a diameter of 1.5m, installed on a stand 2.3m high and 5m wide. The maximum wind speed this device produces is between 15-20 m / sec, which is equivalent to the F3 hurricane wind of the dragon phenomenon.

The wind level of the water cannon has 5 levels including F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5. F3 wind is equivalent to a wind speed of 252-330 km / h, enough to blow trees, cars, houses and destroy metal structures.

According to scientists, the purpose of simulating the phenomenon of water cannons is to help buildings avoid being destroyed when a disaster strikes.

It is expected that scientists will test the functionality of this device by building housing structures that match the level of simulation equipment.
