wind machine

Stage gust maker

A wind machine is a large fan used in film and theater to simulate wind effects, or an agricultural device—typically a tall propeller on a tower—used to circulate air in orchards and vineyards to prevent frost damage.

In music production, a wind machine is a percussion instrument that creates whooshing sounds by rotating a drum against canvas or fabric.
