air tabs

I'll be interested in seeing the long-term results.   :-) 

Air tabs been using them for several months have not been a long trip until past week went on a 550mile round trip,and averaged .4 miles per gal increase,on a long haul say 1000 miles or more its a little savings, the tabs almost stop the pushing effect or sway when being passed by bigger truck,rear of trailor stays cleaner you can see the swirl behind you when pulling in the rain,I USED a total of 32 tabs,16 ea side bought 5 extra,just in case total cost $114.42,w freight.Ea tab costs $2.75. HOPE this is helpful and you can understand me. thanks

I think although I have never tested it in any way that a lot of the issues with drag on the Rpod is the distance between the TV and the RPod nose. The rounded nose of the pod would create a space between the TV and Pod that would create turbulence that would increase drag. I know that in Tractor Trailers they put fairings on the tractor to reduce the gap between the tractor and the trailer to get more laminar flow across the whole rig. I have thought that maybe the tabs on the back of the TV or both might work better. 

The tabs look similar to vortex generators on some aircraft, these generate turbulence and break up the flow of air for specific purposes. I don't see how disturbing the air flow at the back of the pod could help induced drag. I agree with many that the problem is the shape of the front of the pod and the distance between the T.V. and the front of the pod, this area is subject to a vacuum and turbulence and increases induced drag. I don't care, its still fun and cool looking.
