<p>The device is fitted on the front part of the car body. Its function is to improve the road holding of the car at high speeds. The device consists of a horizontal cylinder (4) seated in ball bearings (10) of bracket (9) and driven at high speed by an electric motor (2). The rotation of the cylinder produces a downward force component which acts against the tendency of floating occurring at high speeds. The device can be connected to the car body by hollow arm (8) and the cylinder is hollow, while the outside surface is provided with ribs (6). In this variant the device can be used for cooling the engine or engine oil. During such operation the medium to be cooled enters the tapered void of the cylinder (4), air flowing at high speed around the ribbed surface of the cylinder cools it and the cooled-down medium flows back along the sloping part of the void into the engine.</p> |
