Huge winds generated by MRT trains?!
-
not sure if u guys experience this before, but in underground stations, it seems that when the outer doors close, there's this really huge gust of strong wind that just blows out from the doors or something......
can anyone explain?! i'm not sure if all underground stations have this effect, but tanjong pagar mrt which i use everyday seems to have it.
if you want to experience, then around 6:30 PM, wait there for half an hour and i can guarantee you'll experience it a few times at least.
the wind is comparable to very strong beach winds......something like a wind tunnel with immense winds blown into it.
not sure if this is due to the mrt propulsion system?!!!! maybe some expert can clear this thing up. the wind is strong enough to destroy your gatsby hairstyle.

its the train breaking wind
-
i luv to smell the wind oso... smell quite nice XD
-
hello, serious leh......i'm expecting more technical explanations.
i'm very annoyed why the train keep blasting out this kind of wind.

The north koreans use our MRT tunnels on a regular basis to test their rocket propulsion systems.

why bullet come out of gun got sound/wind...

Its not really that strong lar, not more than 480pascals of total static pressure to be exact.

It isn't the propulsion system. It's the tunnel.

Actually its the current GST rate in singapore, if it was 10%, the wind would knock your socks off.

cause it's speeding very fast what.. then the opposing head wind blows on to the train..

The large mass of wind that the train displaces when it arrives in the station has to go somewhere. Initially it would go to the front and back of the tunnels, but the train doors open and the wind is diverted into the many openings in the station.

most logical and most satisfactory answer ever!!!!!!! thanks for solving the mystery, carb!!!!
btw, for those of you out there who say the smell is nice, i think u better be careful not to breathe in too much because that wind contains dust particles from the train and tunnel.......not sure how come you guys say the smell is nice, but when i smell it, it's more like rusted rubber / steel that kind of industrial smell.

Oh, no! So how?
Can we undertake medical research into the long-term effects of the inhalation of dust particles and toxic fumes on the human body?

Mystery???

I'm surprised the idea to use the wind from these tunnels to generate power didn't pop up.

I am starting to doubt whether your mum regret bringing u into this world.
First, u troll the forum like hell this is your only place where u can interact with ppl cos u got no friends irl to listen to your pathetic crap.
Second, u start useless thread (viet bride ftw kkthxbb)
Third, u tell us medical research is useless .. Ffs, if it is u shouldnt be in this world cos guess wat? You mum gave birth to u in hospital unless its somewhere and no we do not wan to know where.
Fourth, ...
R U A RETARD IRL?!
ISH THIZ EUU?!

quit being a jerk, dude!
i'm saying these stuff for the good of you guys, because i don't want you guys to get strange illnesses due to inhaling such particles......long-term, nobody can guarantee what might happen, ok? things are never certain in life. Do u know that people who operate the printers (those office-sized printers) have high chances of getting cancer?
of course, it's ok if people get strange illnesses and science has medicine to cure it, but as mentioned in my other topic, we currently have no cure for the increasing number of new illnesses nowadays due to absolute goon-doos working in our labs, so better be safer than sorry.

Question: how did you know that the inhalation of toxic fumes can have long-term adverse effects on the human body?
Answer: Those findings were the products of medical research.
In short, you (or at least, the sources you used) made use of medical research findings.
Ooops.

1st of all i dun even think anyone in the right mind would be standing thr for 1/2 hour just to experience the wind for a few times... let alone to smell it... u really can't tell when ppl are just being sacrastic towards u huh?2nd, if there's already a medication for it, it's no longer any strange illness... tons of research would have been put into it! tat's such an oxymoron or r u just a moron?
and u mean to say if there's medication for it, it's okay to have that illness???!!! so in your 'logic', since there's tamiflu for H1N1, so it's okay for u to get it lor? oh but wait, u're not taking the medication cos u don't believe in the useless medical research done by those "goon-doos"...

Firstly , what medical research no use?
Secondly: Stand for 30 mins and experience
the strong wind generated by the mrt train?
Thirdly : Ts should spare 30 mins and make
a trip down to visit a Dr and ask why am I
posting all this?
Lastly: Dont Get to see Ts anymore in this forum

don't get me wrong.....what i said is, if there's medication for an illness, then when you get that illness, at least it's not so bad since still got cure.
imagine you get AIDs (choy!).
you go see your family clinic doctor.
he gives you injection because there's already a cure for AIDs.
at night, u feel so well and alive and healthy again.
that's an example above. i'm sure most people won't be even scared of AIDs even if they get it, as long as there's a cure (like your normal fever or flu, where u see family doctor and get well in 1 days time etc).
of course, we know currently there's no cure for AIDs due to the "very efficient work of those highly talented scientists". just an example.
