Abstract

A funnel shaped device can be used with all types of vehicle on land, in the air and on water, and is integrated into the front of the vehicle. A connecting hose runs from the cone to the front side or lower region of the vehicle and is completed with a closure mechanism. The unit serves to reduce the natural air or water resistance with the funnel opening open, or increase the resistance with the funnel opening closed. The unit provides for fuel saving and also braking support of the vehicle.

Description

Trichterförmige Vorrichtung zur Verminderung des natürlichen Widerstandes (Luft, Wasser) und zur Bremsunterstützung bei Fahrzeugen aller Art. Das Anwendungsgebiet umfaßt Schiffe, Flugzeuge und Landfahrzeuge, die durch ihre Form gezwungen sind, einen Großteil ihres Kraftstoffes zu verbrauchen. Der zur Zeit bekannte Stand der Technik umfaßt runde Formen (Flugzeuge), Wulstbug (Schiff), Spoiler und Leitbleche (Landfahrzeuge). Meine Erfindung beruht auf dem Angriffspunkt des natürlichen Widerstandes, vorne am Fahrzeug.Funnel-shaped device for reducing the natural resistance (air, water) and Brake support for vehicles of all kinds. The application area includes ships, aircraft and Land vehicles forced by their shape are consuming a lot of their fuel. The currently known state of the art includes round shapes (planes), bulge (Ship), spoilers and baffles (land vehicles). My invention is based on the point of attack of the natural resistance, at the front of the vehicle.

Durch die Trichterform wird der Widerstand zum Teil in das Fahrzeug geleitet, um dann durch eine Leitung an der vorderen Seite das Fahrzeug wieder zu verlassen.The funnel shape makes part of the resistance passed into the vehicle, then through a line on the front of the vehicle to leave again.

Ich habe dazu ein Modell 1 gebaut, das einem Trichter ähnelt und dem Kühlergrill meines Autos angepaßt. Der Trichter endet in einem 90°-Stück (Abflußrohr) 2, von dem ein Schlauch 3 (50 cm Abflußschlauch) am Kühler 4 vorbei in den freien Raum am Motor-Getriebe-Block 5 führt.I built a Model 1 that resembles a funnel and adapted to the grille of my car. The funnel ends in a 90 ° piece (drain pipe) 2 , from which a hose 3 (50 cm drain hose) leads past the cooler 4 into the free space at the engine gear block 5 .

Die Anwendung als Widerstandsverminderer brachte nicht nur eine bis zu 15% Kraftstoffeinsparung und 10% Endgeschwindigkeitserhöhung, sondern auch eine Stabilisierung des Geradeauslaufes, also eine Erhöhung der Sicherheit bei Seitenwind. The application as a resistance reducer brought not just fuel savings of up to 15% and 10% final speed increase, but also a stabilization of the straight running, so one Increased safety in cross winds.  

Das Trichtermodell besteht aus einem Drahtgeflecht mit einer Glasfasermattenhaut, die mit Kunstharz bestrichen wurde. Um den Kühler noch genügend Luft zu überlassen, mußte ich die Vorrichtung mit Lufteinlaßschlitzen 7 versehen.The funnel model consists of a wire mesh with a glass fiber mat skin that has been coated with synthetic resin. In order to leave enough air to the cooler, I had to provide the device with air inlet slots 7 .

Bei der gewerblichen Anwendung soll der Trichter integriert sein, um das bestmögliche Platz-Leistungsverhältnis zu erreichen.The funnel is intended for commercial use be integrated to the best possible space-performance ratio to reach.

Ob der Trichter rund oder schlitzförmig ist, hängt von der jeweiligen Fahrzeugart ab. Nachträglicher Anbau der Erfindung ist bei allen Fahrzeugarten möglich. Durch den Einbau eines Klappenmechanismus in das 90°-Stück hinter dem Trichterausgang kann die Vorrichtung auch als Bremsunterstützung benutzt werden, indem eine Klappe 6 den Trichterausgang verschließt und so einen Widerstandsstau verursacht (Fallschirmeffekt).Whether the funnel is round or slit-shaped depends on the type of vehicle. Subsequent attachment of the invention is possible for all types of vehicles. By installing a flap mechanism in the 90 ° piece behind the funnel exit, the device can also be used as a brake support, in that a flap 6 closes the funnel exit and thus causes a backlog of resistance (parachute effect).

Claims (1)

1. Der Schutz soll die Anwendung der trichterförmigen Vorrichtung bei allen Arten von Fahrzeugen zu Land, zu Luft und zu Wasser umfassen. Diese Vorrichtung wird vorne am Fahrzeug angebracht oder integriert. Durch ein Verbindungsschlauch zu der Seitenöffnung am vorderen seitlichen oder unteren Fahrzeugbereich und durch einen Verschlußmechanismus wird sie vervollständigt. Sie dient der Verminderung (offener Trichterausgang) oder Erhöhung (geschlossener Trichterausgang) des natürlichen Widerstandes (Luft, Wasser), zur Kraftstoffsparung oder Bremsunterstützung.1. Protection is intended to apply the funnel-shaped device in all types of vehicles on land, air and water. This device is attached to the front of the vehicle or integrated. Through a connecting hose to the Side opening at the front side or bottom Vehicle area and by a locking mechanism it will be completed. It serves the reduction (open funnel exit) or Increase (closed funnel exit) of the natural Resistance (air, water), for fuel saving or brake support.
