New Inventions: Strongest Generated Tornado
New Inventions: Strongest Generated Tornado
 |
| Located in Stuttgart, Germany, the Mercedes-Benz Museum is home to the ‘strongest artificially generated tornado in the world’ according to the Guinness Book of World Records. However the purpose of the 34.4 meter high (112.86 ft) may surprise you. See below to learn why. |

| The architecture of the Mercedes-Benz Museum (designed by UNStudio)
placed particular demands on construction planners, architects and
engineers with regard to smoke elimination. The provisions of the
approving authority and fire protection regulations require all areas
outside the fire level to be smoke-free in the event of smoke emission. However, due to the open-plan structure of the Mercedes-Benz Museum, the various exhibition areas are connected to each other without any fire zones via an interior courtyard and ramps. From the perspective of smoke elimination this presented a challenging task that could not be implemented through conventional fluid mechanics. |
