Inventive Engineer: Championing creativity in engineering and disruptive technologies in the industrial sector.
Storm chasing vehicles are typically constructed from the same materials as regular vehicles. including steel. aluminum. and glass. However. they may also incorporate enhancements to ensure safety and durability during storms. These upgrades can include reinforcing the body with strong synthetic fibers like Kevlar and steel to withstand debris impact. In addition. windows and windshields may be replaced with polycarbonate or Lexan. a tough thermoplastic polymer that is highly resistant to damage. Some storm chasers also opt for a spray coating similar to Rhino Liner for added exterior protection. while others may use lightweight and sturdy aluminum for external fixtures such as equipment cages or radomes. The chassis may also be specially reinforced to prevent harm from road debris. Inside the vehicle. you'll often find various metals and plastics utilized in computers and wireless systems. along with durable seat fabrics. Specific materials used in construction can vary depending on the storm chaser's preferences and budget. Each vehicle is unique. but generally they aim for a balance between safeguarding against harsh weather conditions. functionality. and maintaining a safe weight capacity for the vehicle.
