Driveway Labs Rear Diffuser

[Carl - Driveway Labs]

Hello!

My happy place is aerodynamic design and making physics my bitch.

This will serve as the development and placeholder for my upcoming rear diffuser for our car.

Well version 1.0 is wrapped up, I'm 3D printing a 1/5th scale to do some scale wind tunnel testing on and go from there ?

Cool diffusers really get me going. Do you have a 1/5 scale car you're going to put this on, and if so, does it drive?

lol, I'm going to print a 1:5 car also but no, just a fixed tunnel test for surface flow validation

This makes me so happy. A big diffuser would most certainly make more downforce than a small wing could, and no trunk drilling.

wonder if there’s room to adjust it, similar to a wing to dial in the downforce?

Any renders yet on the car?

He did show a render of a Coca Cola Bottle or Can, if I remember lmao

@Carl - Driveway Labs correct me if I'm wrong


Edit: I meant simulation

Not really

Damn I'd love to come work for/with you, this is such cool shit.

I'm definitely interested in one when they go up for sale!

That would mean you have to live in my garage with me

Looks about right

What is the maximum exhaust tip diameter you envision with this diffuser?

just the tip?

shouldn't matter, but I'll know for sure on the car

 

[Thraxbert]

just the tip?

Yeah. Just to see how it feels.
