I'm very interested in the Coanda Effect for my panel van. As much as I've followed the links so far, the comments are about sizing a fan for wake filling, etc.

What I want to do would be like the chrome sacks on a big-rig truck, except they would be tear-drop shaped, capped with a Bonneville wing at the top and a single or double row of louvers just abaft the separation point, all fed by the tailpipes.

With a big honking motor you could do a complete halo around the rear.
