this is a idea ive been thinking about.

ive seen these small fans that have like a air plane fan on them for getting a brush fire burning, about 3' across, and was thinking.
would that make enuf force to lower gas use to the point that the little briggs and stratton or some other small engine would use less gas then the gas saved by the main engine

running non stop at full rated rpms are 5hp wood splitter 1/2 gal gas tank will run about 2.5 hours

and how far back would it need to be, i was thinking if its right at the back its in a low presser area and maybe it woudent have the force it would have 5' back???

i think it would be something like having a 5 to 15 mph tale wind, and increase main engine mpg accordingly.

any way its just a random odd idea, so i put it in this part of the board....
