Patent attributes
Systems, methods and media for reducing the aerodynamic drag of vehicles are disclosed. More particularly, a method for reducing the pressure drag of a vehicle is disclosed. Embodiments may include capturing air from the airflow around the vehicle when the vehicle is moving and directing air from a first location to a second location. Embodiments may also include forcing the captured air from the second location into a lower pressure region to reduce pressure drag associated with movement of the vehicle in a direction, where the lower pressure region is created in response to movement of the vehicle. Further embodiments may include where directing the air includes directing the air through a duct internal to the vehicle or through a duct attached to the vehicle.
