Subject: [videos] Vented hood testing by BrianCunningham on 2008/8/29 22:41:47 Another thread from "over there" I thought you might want to see. The good old "tuffs of yard" test. Hat's off to you him doing this, sometimes people take too much time theorizing, instead of just getting out there and testing it! [QUOTE]RC45, Here are some videos. The audio sucks, but I left to help indicate speed. I guess the big question is whether the behaviour observed is good, bad, indifferent or as desired. WindTunnel Hood 1 A video showing behaviour of airflow over the ACP Extractor hood. The run is up and down a local side road - one way with vents on top of the fender closed, and on the way back open. The radiato shroud/box is closed.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7lnKtqe9nA WindTunnel Hood 2 A video showing behaviour of airflow over the ACP Extractor hood. The run is up and down a local side road - both ways with vents on top of the fender are open. The radiator shroud/box is open.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct3FWPp_CoI WindTunnel Hood 3 A video showing behaviour of airflow over the ACP Extractor hood. The run is down a local side road - this time from a different view. The radiator shroud/box is open.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVdcdX4MANA WindTunnel Wheel A video showing behaviour of airflow around the Gurney Flap (?) placed on the leading edge of the front wheel well. The run is up a local side road.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-byeKS9i7E WindTunnel Fender Gill A video showing behaviour of airflow around the drivers fender gill/vent.
