. . .Take your rake with the lemons on it and position it in front of the barge.. keep it in the water and watch the swirls of water (the turbalance) off the lemons.
Are they helping the barge move through the water? have the lemons helped with the fuel economy? What have the done?
The turbulence created might just help break the large impact of the solid water-wall into smaller less effective impacts.
So YES. The lemons may help with fuel economy.
That is probably what is happening with airtabs.
You could probably put almost ANYTHING between the cabover and truck cab and it will help break the wind load hitting the camper.
Thanks for that reminder not to be closed-minded to new concepts.
