Help choosing vortex generators

Any questions still?

Thanks for the link. Can see that the subject has allready been covered fairly good.

Don't think I'm going to spend any money on those

A lot of subjects have been thoroughly covered here. Probably most subjects you can think of. You can find a lot of info using the search box.

And then there is the Ring Vortex Generator:

Fully portable...

100% effective...

No A-BB-A testing required for verification.

LMAO... I used to do that (on a much smaller scale) with old cigarette packs.

That's an awesome experiment. I'm going to have to remember that and show it to my Son when he's older. *Saved*

Christ,

Here's the Big Bad Wolf of ring vortex generators:

I'll Huff, and I'll Puff...

FWIW, you can get a smoke/fog generator at a guitar/rock band/theatrical
supply house. Something about 350-500 watst will do; ~$40, plus "smoke"
liquid and cleaner fluid.

Nice.

I have delta shaped VGs on my car, although they're actually more effective at reducing lift than drag. According to Mitsubishi's research, drag was reduced 4 points and rear lift by 13.

According to this article, vortex generators can reduce drag up to 12% and rear lift by up to 104% using a bluff body application.


Awesome video by the way.
