" This odd contraption is by far our favourite on the list: wing mirror air conditioning. During a race, one of the most difficult factors to control is a driver’s temperature. A traditional air conditioning unit would be unacceptably heavy (though some championships require it for driver safety), so engineers come up with ways of creating openings to force air into the cabin." The only gripe i have about my old Civic is that the air vents are horrible. Even when it's not hot out ( rarely here in Texas ), the vents blow ( weak ! ) air that is warm even with the lever all the way to the coldest setting. This mirror gives me ideas on how to fix that. |
Cd, thats a good thing. That means you do not have a wave of pressure at the base of your windshield. Now for jeeps they make deflectors that mount on top of the vent slots to purposely direct air into the cabin.
Why do mirrors need to be mounted on the outside of the vehicle? :D http://vtec.carthrottle.com/image/1/...4810d48d47.jpg |
Too lazy to find a good picture: Dymaxion periscope.
Pagani hisself told Jay Leno the Huayra mirror was based on a woman's eye. |
Is it illegal to use cameras in place of sideview mirrors?
