What if you tie one to an ultralight glider? Can you fly forever?
In general I put the word "vortex" right next to words like "god" and "aura" and "chakra" and "heaven" that BS artists use to steal money from idiots.

Ooh, that would be a great addition to the ram wing, place a windmill on top to run the alternator while I drive, not only could my battery go dead I could also increase wind resistance more.

how about if you just build a windmill inside your house, but make the blades out of ram wings? then once you get it started they'll just push themselves around in circles forever and you get free electricity!

I noticed no change with a roof rack installed, on a 1781cc car...something takes care of itself...in fact, it seems responsive on highway passing.
if vortex is vacuum, find vacuum and kill it without it, stop the ridicule of an alien looking wing..

Its not like a little plywood, styrofoam crafter molding and some mounts would be that expensive. And just by the pictures and by reading his forum I have all the dimensions to test and see if his odd looking airdam does anything to disrupt air flow or not.
I have a feeling we might be surprized but probably not pleasantly. Never know unless you try though, he claims you need to aim the thing in a windtunnel so its at the angle of departure. LoL
