Not sure why everyone keeps bringing up Mythbusters, at no point have I referenced them I don't even have cable television
You don't need cable; all the high-lites are on Youtube. I recommend Adam Savages one-day builds and resin-kit painting tutorials.

I guess I'm just confused by the fact that everyone says it won't work, yet I'm the only one providing data/links to anything.
Once again, I don't get to be part of everyone. What I suggested was a low-cost testing technique. I think bubble-rap would be halfway between dimples and an omni-directional vortex generator. They all provide a small-scale, localized disturbance of the overall air flow.

If I would have known it was such a hot button topic, and that I would need to look so much stuff up just to not seem like an idiot who watched some TV episode, I wouldn't have bothered posting in the first place
Well, thanks for bringing it up so we could all, for better or worse, exercise our 'thinkers'.
