Nice! Can't wait to see the vids, your work is inspiring. My Focus is pretty much as far along in the front as I can (want to) take it, I'm sure the back needs cleaning up and that's likely where it could do the most good.

I've used audio tape before as "telltales" on a sail. Works really well, but the downside is it seems to have a serious static cling problem in certain conditions.
Also, not so good on a sail if you're used to red & green telltales on either side.  |

MetroMPG -
Great stuff. The camera mounted on the car is the best POV for tuft testing.

So is the Kamm back going to have a hollow cavity or a plexiglass rear window ( the red portion of the image )
If you remember, the UCDavis project car had a small cavity ...but then their .Cd count wasn't exactly impressive for the amount of work that they put into that car.

Hey - I love the look of the car by the way.
Man what a difference !
I have a new question : I noticed that in the still pictures ( the one that I posted in my previous post ) the area on the side of the Kamm back isn't filled in. ( The triangular area just above the area that I filled in with red )
Surely you filled in this side piece before the test ... right ?

This is such a great video! Real professional and it worked extremely well. Are you thinking of pushing the envelope further and making an attachable boat-tail in the future? I'm totally staying tuned  . |
