Aerodynamic Invention for aircraft and trucks.
Rear Body/Fuselage Drag Reduction Devices.
The devices reduce the aerodynamic drag of a truck by 64%.
From testing the devices can be used on aircraft.
Approx. there would be a 25 - 30% increase in range. Generally there would be a "fuel efficiency" increase of between 25 - 40%.
For trucks, quoting a 1997 USA DOE paper "Reducing cd (coefficient of drag) from 0.6 to 0.3 would result in a total yearly saving of 3 billion gallons of diesel for travel at 60 mph - a 43% savings." A cd (coefficient of drag) reduction of 50%.
Saving the planet from global warming by reducing emissions.
Seeking an Investor:
The plan would be the developing, licensing and sales of highly effective devices for the transportation industry (aircraft, trucks and later cars) by increasing the rear aerodynamic efficiency. This would be the only line of products with a high efficiency, reduced drag coefficient from Cd of 1.0 down to .36 a 64% reduction. Plus increased engine performance.
There are many applications for my drag reduction devices, the following are some examples:
- Trucks: Mini-buses, buses, coaches, box type delivery vans (small, medium & large), semi-trailers.
- Aircraft- All sizes.
- Others: Engine manifolds-intake and exhaust.
The devises do work and would be a sought after commodity given the rising fuel price and global warming. They just need an investor with a vision of the future.
Background for the Drag Reduction Devices.
Testing: The devices have been “proven by testing” to initially reduce the rear aerodynamic drag coefficient by 64% for a 6 tonne GVM diesel truck i.e. The devices increased the acceleration and speeds for uphill climbs, cruise and top speeds and reduced a seven hour trip time to five hours. The devices showed that they can be used to improve aircraft aerodynamics.
