nice...first he says he is not an engineer then he says he studies hydrodynamics...an ADD geek who thinks he has an idea that has already been researched by every auto manufacturer (and F1 team!)...I dont see how his invention will work in a 35 mph hydroplane...and if he did produce enough downforce you would probably get about 3MPG...didn't mitsubishi have active aeros for a while?? :119:

One must applaud the enthusiasm, but as a business proposal it doesn't work.
Let's see, I invest $15K and, if everything works out, I get only 2% of the first million, which is $20K, with no mention of additional profits. And, of course, if everything doesn't work out, I'm out the $15K.
Forget the physics, I'll pass.
His 'call for investors' is also a violation of Securities law.

Rats, too late. ebay pulled the item. I would like to have seen it. The talk about it reminds me about a letter we received at the USAC office with an engineering student's ideas about making Indy cars safer. One involved a large metal plate in the nose of the car that would be lowered if a car started to slide, slowing the front faster than the back, sending the back of the car into the concrete wall. The other idea contrived a heavy weight on a teather that would drop out of the nose of the car and act like an anchor (yeah, this guy was really serious!).Originally posted by charrbq@Jan 7 2006, 04:08 PM

Of course, we learned that hitting the wall with the engine/transmission was not the best thing to do, either.
Loved the paper "Unskilled....."

Wait, wait!!! I forgot about the story that Les Kimbrall used to tell visitors who came up to the Timing and Scoring booth in the old Timing Tower at the Speedway. This one involved putting generators on the cars that would give them a positive charge. Then applying a positive charge to the walls. Since both the cars and the walls would be charged with the same polarity, they would repel each other and the cars would never hit the walls!Originally posted by RacerBill@Jan 9 2006, 03:02 PM
