It doesn't, dave, and the coanda effect can never effect thrust, since that would require the addition of energy, something coanda doesn't do. Coanda's effect is that of direction change through utilization of nearly all of the existing energy. In the example I provided, coanda removes nearly all the kinetic energy given by gravity, until the flow of water reaches an exhaustion point, where gravity takes over again.

hi all,
today i added a pair of coanda thrusters behind the front wheels ,
now this ones Really made a noticeable difference,
the first ones i couldn't really tell since i put them on right after i did my differential,so i wasn't quite sure which was what
but now i know they make a positive impact,
you should all try and see, its really a 3 min. mode, and free...just find the right bottle

starting from around 20 mph on..

please post your testing methods in addition to your claims. How did you measure the difference and what did you use for a control?

When I see positive ABA test results, I'll look for the unicorn.

I will admit my wife's Hyundai Elantra has two factory-installed rounded tabs behind the front wheels, narrower than the tread width, protruding below the body line an inch or two.
