You are seeing a lot of star-wars movie. Sci-fi is inspiring, today; I'm no longer fan. One day, the movies were good. Now it's $ $ $ $ $.ecapox wrote:Ummm..it looks like a ray gun.

Why / how would this be beneficial?

If you want to slow the car down by introducing more drag, it would be easier to put a hoizontal barn door between the rear wing endplates.
BTW I'm sure this is illegal too. If I remember correctly the last 100mm or so needs to be a straight section of round tube.
You should show your idea, depending nor is illegal. Have the courage to expose their ideas encourages others to expose and discuss. Is part of learning.

So if mixing the flows reduces the noise, will separate the flows work the other way round?? For instance having a gurney flap (lacking a better word in this case) around the tailpipe exit. Could that increase the sound of the exhaust??NoDivergence wrote:The mixing is not a new concept, but imo, will not have much advantage here. The primary benefit for aircraft that have echelons on the turbofan cover is that the mixing flow allows for a significant noise reduction
Doesn't him telling you that your design is both illegal and pointless part of the learning you speak of? It's not like he's discouraging discourse or just saying "yor idea is t3h sux", he's just explaining to you the issues with your design. Isn't that exactly what you wanted?idfx wrote:You should show your idea, depending nor is illegal. Have the courage to expose their ideas encourages others to expose and discuss. Is part of learning.

That aside, having an idea (make more vortices!) without a clear goal in mind (speed downforce? dirty air?) is putting the cart before the horse. And, as has been explained multiple times on this forum and by F1 engineers in various media, there is no good reason to intentionally create dirty air to try and slow down the guy behind you.
Meanwhile, instead of addressing his criticisms, you try and somehow make it seem like you're better than him just because you have the "courage" to show your design, as if he's afraid to do the same (spoiler alert: he's not)
