Podcast (& YouTube) favorites for ecomodders
For the lounge, a long-awaited podcasts thread! 
From aerodynamics, to engine mods, to tires, car culture... Whatever seems usefully or entertainingly related to ecomodding to you... Post 'em up here. I'll come back and add sometimes, too. Numero uno:
" Don't Call It A Kammback: Kamm-Tail Cars." What is a Kammback, exactly? Where did the name come from, and how does this design reduce air turbulence?

Three days with no response. I will listen to your suggestion.
How about vlogs? That would subsume the GraysGarage Youtube channel. He's a past Ecomodder poster. His last upload 5 months ago was about his Lucid Air electric car Vortex Intake System. |

Right?! I guess this ain't a podcast crowd, lol. Love the idea of making it more broad. YouTube additions welcome. I remember that gray's garage aero demonstration vid too. Saw it somewhere a couple years ago.

The podcast needed pictures. 
If they lurked around here they could find out about 'tearing edges' and 'box cavities'. That motorhome series is about a lot of work for little gain.
I downloaded the MP3 instead of turning on Javascript, so I don't know if there are speed controls; but I like Youtube for it's speed controls (they recently added 0.75) and the j-k-l keys to jump back, pause, or jump forward. |

I went hunting and did not find. Got a link? Also, I edited the thread title. (Go where the interest is.) I love YouTube too.
