Undergrad Would this work to decrease air resistance in sports cars?
that was exactly what i was thinking of. Sad that its already patented though, i was hoping this would make me a millionaire :(- Max Mycroft

but all you are doing is transferring a charge, does that transfer momentum?- Max Mycroft

but if the air is being moved out of the way by something else and not the car then there would be less pressure drag. and if there is a lower pressure in front of the car and less particles then there would be less skin friction drag. Am i right or misunderstanding?- Max Mycroft

Undergrad Would this work to decrease air resistance in sports cars?
but ignoring the weight, in theory it would work?- Max Mycroft

Undergrad Would this work to decrease air resistance in sports cars?
Okay so here is my idea, not really sure how well (if at all) it would work but I am wondering if it would be possible (assuming battery technology is good enough) to ionise air in front of a formula 1 car (or plane or whatever) giving it a charge (like the way lightning works) , then creating...- Max Mycroft
