Aerodynamic Invention 1
Aerodynamic Invention / Fuel Saving Devices

Rear Bluff Body / Fuselage:- 64%Cd Drag Reduction Devices
plus greatly improved Ducted Airflow Devices.

These devices are not theories or what should be.  
They are the awakening (answers) to a whole new world of aerodynamics, and what are to be.
When you have driven a vehicle with very little drag, you will understand.

The devices reduced the aerodynamic drag of a truck by 64%. The testing showed that
they would benefit aircraft as well as Ducted Airflow Devices which would benefit Engines, Ducted Fans / air-conditioners, hair driers and Vacuum Cleaners.

There would be a "fuel efficiency" increase of between 25 - 40%.

For Trucks, quoting an 11 year old 1997 USA DOE paper:-  "Reducing Cd from 0.6 to 0.3 would result in a total yearly saving of 3 billion gallons of diesel for travel at 60 mph - a 43% savings. At a Cd reduction of 50%"

My estimate for the USA air carrier market, based on 2006 passenger miles & airliner miles, would be a "Fuel saving of 47 Billion Gallons".  

SAVING THE PLANET FROM GLOBAL WARMING by reducing emissions

Seeking an Investor:
This would be the only line of products with a high efficiency, reduced drag coefficient from Cd of 1.0 down to .36 a 64% reduction. Plus increased engine power.
Further devices for research would be:- 1) Frontal fuselage/body drag reduction devices. 2) Other Engine devices and/or flow system devises.

There are too many applications for the drag reduction devices to list them all, the following are some examples:
ROAD TRANSPORT:- Mini-buses, buses, coaches, box type delivery vans (small, medium & large), semi-trailers. 
AIRCRAFT:- general aviation to airliners,
OTHERS: Trains, Engine manifolds-intake and exhaust, Ducted Fans and Vacuum Cleaners.

The devises do work and would be a sought after commodity given the rising gasoline prices and GLOBAL WARMING. They just need an investor with a vision.

Background for the Drag Reduction Foils.
Testing: The devices have been “proven by testing” to reduce the rear aerodynamic drag coefficient by 64% for a 6 ton diesel truck i.e. The devices increased the acceleration and speeds for:- uphill climbs, cruise and top speeds and reduced a seven hour trip time to five hours. From the testing the devices can be used to improve aircraft aerodynamics.

Note: I am not an Aeronautical Engineer. However I am a Pilot with 33 years and was a truck owner/driver for 11 years who realised during the testing that there is a problem with current aerodynamic beliefs. Discovered how to use the boundary layer for the benefit of a moving bluff body (trucks) which would also benefit aircraft.
