Attachment 90
Cornell 90 sucker car let's reverse engineer it
Suction area doesn't seem to extend under the engine
Hope i had these image clean up skills to have a better look
What do you guys and gals make out of it?
Also how does the suction work?I see no fans?
cant see fans parallel to the floor or ducting leading to a remotely placed fan .Car seems pretty clean as a design
BUT i see this aluminium hose leading to the floor ( look low in front of the rear wheel) .Could it be there are 2 vacuum hoses one on each side leading to the vacuum box in the floor?
Could a standard vacuum pump or 2 as used for refrigeration work ? I mean for a Cornell type solution and not an all out sucker car as Z described above (like for a first attempt attempting to get the benefits of big wings seen today in FSAE from the sucker layout - first target- max 1 ton of downforce and no more than 2.5-3 gs lateral )
Is this Cornell guy blipping the throttle or flipping a switch to feel the downforce in a standstill just before the start of the skidpad?
