User blog:Gameshowguy2000/Another possibility to the automation of the ''Wheel''...

In the past, the Wheel would be automated in the show's opening and closing, even a few months into the now 20+ year-old electronic puzzle board.

My initial theories were they were controlled by motors in the Wheel's base, or even by a computer in the control room.

But there's another theory on my mind...wind tunnels. I know, you're gonna ask, "John, how can a wind tunnel propel something as heavy as the Wheel?" Well, you all know that wind tunnels propel jet engines and helicopter propellers. If they can propel those, they can probably propel anything that can spin...except probably Price's Big Wheel (first off, it's a vertical wheel; and second, the spaces are seen from the front).

It would either take one huge wind tunnel, or multiple smaller ones. But that's just me.

Do you think a wind tunnel could propel the Wheel's automation? Why or why not? Share your thoughts below. Gameshowguy2000 (talk) 18:28, January 3, 2019 (UTC)
