Fake products

In the search of aerodynamic solutions for my Class A motorhome, I came across a "product" which is named AeroMax. This is supposed to be produced by a company called Adamworks. Here's their website link to the video:

Aeromax Video


Try as I might, I could not get any more information about this "product". I'm suspecting they got developemental funds from the government and made this phony make believe offering. Not even email sent to them worked to get information. Besides the fact that the claims for how much fuel they save seems unlikely.

If you were selling a product would you include a way to get it? Not if you never intended to sell any you wouldn't.

The ads in my post are really annoying. Especially the moving ones. Adios.

Quick working prototype (hopefully patent pending), geometric viral marketing. The idea gets picked up by private trucking/fleet businesses, even by public entities, for its 'beneficial' savings & eco-interests. Gets development capital funding or simple 'sold'. Good ideas moves fast.

Things that would concern me.

Is an auto lift from scrapes or crushes? What drives the mechanism?

I think the flexible side skirts have put this possibly complicated tech behind the power curve. The flexible side skirts can take high center crush (like a railroad track crossing) and pop back in shape. I don't think this product could survive something like that compared to a non-moving skirt.

So I got over those chumps. I found this:

Truck Fuel Saving, Aerodynamic Fairing, Aerodynamic Parts, Truck Industry

The lower edge of my motorhome is nowhere near as tall as a trailer. Plus I don't need the movable access as presented. What I could use is the lower flexible rubber parts which I could attach to the bottom edge of the body between the front and rear wheels. I'm going to give them a call and beg.

Now if I can get the front air dam made up to channel air around to the outside of the motorhome rather than underneath and against the front tires I'll have a good start.
