To make them more secure, I can also use the interior volume of the airtab to add a stronger magnet (or magnets). Here is an example of a use for magnetic sheet that gave me the idea : MAGNETIC CAR BRA for 1999-2002 SATURN SL https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAGNE...spagenameZWD1V Attachment 1001 CarloSW2 |
Carlo, if I ever see your car with the "mag-tabs", it's gonna make it far too easy for me to ummm "borrow" them for my own experiments, :D

Without being in a chase car, its really really hard to tell though |
does anyone know if it'd make a difference if you just sat around smacking the body with a rubber mallet for awhile? I might be buying a pretty crappy looking CRX HF that wouldn't loose much "sex appeal" from a few hundred smacks with a mallet.

dimple tape? https://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=1508 Aerodynamic grooves/ridges? https://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=3267 Winglets and bumpy paint? https://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=3478 CarloSW2 |
I had read quite a few threads on it, but obviosly others have been taking ALOT of interest in this....sadly I'm not sure where my opinion lies now.
In one sense it almost seemed as if to create an improvement similar to the golf ball thing you would need to do it on a correct scale(larger dimples) and near the rear of the vehicle....then in other ways it seems sensible that using bumps instead of depressions more towards the front would help(the whole reason why drafting works)...then in Mitsubishi's tests it seems that bumps near the rear are the answer...... I'm glad I'm learning something either way! :D |

Sharks have dermal denticles (I think that's the right term) - which makes their skin sand paper like; I think on a shark it's called a placiod scale (if you care to search). The shape varies from specie to specie (I'm fairly certain it's a way to identify different species) - but one purpose is that they create small vorticies to reduce drag. They are very small - you really can't see individual ones at all :) ----- Now, speaking from something I saw at the San Francisco Maker Faire.... Look at the tail end dimples ;) https://blog.scifi.com/tech/pics/nmg_yellow.jpg I can't say if they help or not though... but it sure looks cool :p ------- Oh, and I forgot to mention in my water tunnel picture post earlier.... I don't have a picture (batteries died)... But, tennis ball fuzz has a very similar purpose to golf ball dimples... While not as effective, there was a clear benefit over a "fuzzless" ball ;) Anyone up for covering their car in some low pile carpet? :p |
That's gotta be the funkiest 3 wheeler I ever seen HAHA...My dad owned an old three wheeled milk truck for quite a number of years. Two wheels in back, one in the front..we named it the "Blue Moon". One of our favorite things to do in her was to find long curved well paved side roads and get up to just the right speed to travel along on two wheels.....ahh the good 'ol days LOL
