[QUOTE="-storm-, post: 2192471, member: 37224"] :retarded: Mayb only works on higher speed! Here is the explaination for this device : [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][B]Turbulators, etc:[/B] In areas where the body transitions at a rate of more than 12 degrees, turbulator strips, vortex generators, diffusers, very short fairings or other devices can be used to "trip the airflow". [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]The idea is that areas like the transition between the roof and rear window on the average car creates a large vortex. Any large vortices effectively grab the car and try to hold it back as it tries to slip through the air. If the air that makes up the vortex can be "tripped" before it leaves the back of the car, it will make smaller vortices, which will have a smaller effect on the overall aerodynamics of the vehicle. Measurement of the effects of these devices at highway speeds has been difficult to obtain.
