They were observing the 

sky from a wellhole while 

the position of the stars 

changes with time as the 

perspective of the observer 

does not change. 

8



WIND TUNNEL 

A wind tunnel is used to test 

the aerodynamics of various 

objects and wings which are in 

different shapes. The wind 

created by a fan flows 

homogeneously with the help of 

specially designed mechanical 

parts of the tunnel and the speed 

can be controlled by a unit which 

is mounted on the system. The fog 

machine is also included in the set. 

The test section area which is located 

at the center of the unit allows the 

visitors to observe the fog flowing on 

the surface of the objects. The data of 

lifting - drag forces on the objects and 

the wind speed which are measured by 

sensors can be observed on a LED TV. 

9



Visitors are allowed to 

drive a plane by controlling 

the rudder, pedals, and 

switches. They fly in a 

virtual environment and by the 

help of air pistons, the whole 

mechanical system which the 

visitor sit in it moves in all 

three axes depending on what is 

done with the controllers. To 

explain the movement of a plane and 

the function of controllers, a video 

with instructions is displayed on the 

LED TV stand by unit.

weight and age values on all 

planets are shown on LED 

monitor. 

25



SPACE PULLEYS 

Space Pulleys allow the 

visitors to lift themselves 

upward by using 3 different 

pulley systems. Depending on 

the types of the pulleys used 

in each system, the lifting 

force differs which is also 

related to the gravities of 

different planets. (Mars, Moon, 

Earth). Considering the safety 

factors, a special brake mechanism 

is used to, prevent the people fall 

free, and come to their initial 

positions slowly. 

26

exhibit. With special lighting, the 

surface of the planets can be observed 

easily from a reasonable distance. The 

sizes of the planets are with correct 

ratios. All of the planets rotate in their 

axis slowly also with correct ratios. The 

small monitors located on the wall which is 

at the front side of the system contains the 

video-animations about planets properties with 

voiceovers. The planets can be selected from 

the touchscreen monitor.

BLACK HOLE 

This setup consists of a 

parabolic dish with a hole at 

the center, a steel ball and a 

hole at the very bottom. When 

the ball is released into the 

setup, it speeds up with a 

circular motion and goes down the 

hole. It then disappears when it 

enters the hole at the very bottom. 

The setup simulates the behavior of 

stars trapped by dark holes in the 

universe. 

31

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE 

At the end of the 

exhibition, with this 

unit, visitors are tested 

about what they learn in 

this exhibition. Every 

square on the floor of the 

unit corresponds to the 

different question which is 

shown to visitors on a mobile 

tablet. Answering the questions 

correctly or not changes the 

color of the square green or red. 

At the end of the test system 

calculates the visitors' score.

Space capsule is a vehicle or 

compartment of a vehicle designed to 

transport, protect, and support 

humans or animals in outer space or at 

very high altitudes in Earth's 

atmosphere. A space capsule is an often 

manned spacecraft, which has a simple 

shape for the main section, without any 

wings or other features to create lift 

during atmospheric reentry. A manned space 

capsule has everything necessary for 

everyday life, including air, water and 

food. The space capsule also protects 

astronauts from the cold and radiation of 

space. A capsule is well insulated and have a 

system that controls the inside temperature and 

environment. The exhibit is a reduced model of 

the Apollo Space Capsule. 

It is equipped with virtual reality glass, giving 

an opportunity to visitors for space journey.
