I get a lot of ideas, most don't work, but the ones that do a real pearls.
Just been investigating if anyone had done anything like that, he apparantly just used PVC pipes, but had no takers in the trucking industry, maybe because it didn't really work that well.
I was also reading on some truck studies using slow flow between cabin and trailer, positive results in testing, but no real world test results.
My initial thoughts were if you could introduce some venting into the centre of the rear to disrupt or shift the vortex cycling and maybe help decrease drag, just investigating ideas.
