Lets attach stanley bobbleheads to our mirrors, that would be the best

>>16085786
Yeah, because bigass empty rings are so easy to blend in the car's aero.

Plus I don't really know if such a concept would work if air is already being pushed through the ring.

>>16085786
pls provide calculamations on how much exhaust gases you'd need for this to have any noticeable effect at high speeds

>>16085786
Hakuna, is that you??? (I know, it's not)

Btw, I like the idea, even though it likely wouldn't make any difference...

..or maybe it would, and we'll see once Dyson's patent expires.

Giant vacuums that stuck the car to the road.

you mean like a blown flap?
like the f-duct?

Tennis ball bumps everywhere. I can't figure out why no one has ever used them on bodywork. Mythbusters proved that it gives measurable benefits, and it really wouldn't be that difficult to do on molded composites, although I can see how it might significantly reduce die life for sheet metal stamps.

>exhaust gases
>laminar flow
stop using words you obviously don't know the meaning of

Tennis ball or golf ball?

Not the way you think it works.

You direct high pressure, low volume air over the round aerofoil shape you get a lower pressure much higher volume. The ratio of pressure-volume-size is pretty tight so you'd need a large ring for any effect even on say an F1 car. F1 already applied the Coanda effect and it was banned because its fucking expensive to tune and the V8 cars were starting to get a wee bit too fast (see Redbull).

Imagine a applying the Coanda effect to the V10 era cars.

Dyson doesn't won the design it's a form of Coanda effect, this has been used in mines for decades for moving air.

All of Dyson's patents are "Design" Patents, which mean they don't cover the technology itself only the way Dyson markets it.

I was thinking more like an exhaust blown diffuser that can draw more, cleaner airflow with the air multiplier design, but I suppose it's similar to the f-duct.

the exhaust pipes of this were made in such a way that the thurst genarated offests the drag created by the engine being so blukly

>use the diverted laminar flow to point at an airfoil or fill the low pressure zone in the wake of the car.
Nissan and koenigsegg already do this
