the Total cost of installation was about $ 15 million.

a Team of researchers at the University of Miami (USA) has completed the construction of SUSTAIN, the world's largest simulation of natural waves and wind, according to The Weather Network.

the Device is a 23-metre swimming pool with 12 paddle wheels, which drives the system with a capacity of 1700 horsepower. In addition, the SUSTAIN is equipped with a fan system that can simulate a hurricane with wind speeds of over 250 kilometers per hour.

Scientists believe that this simulator will allow you to more thoroughly explore the theme of the interaction of powerful winds with waves. In addition, with the help of SUSTAIN researchers can develop new building codes and plans for coastal homes, which in the future will reduce the damage and the human toll from sudden hurricanes and storms.
