Great work on the pitot tube and testing!
So, what you're saying is that the air tabs do not seem to make as much difference in reducing the air speed in that space as does the dam designed by Sleepy?
Thanks for your diligence, honesty and interest!
What I am thinking is that based on the testing to date and my current understanding of the physics behind the air tabs, I cannot see that the air tabs would provide as good a result as the air dam. I can see that they might have some impact due to the created vortex, but not sufficient to choose them over the air dam
That said, I will do some more testing and will continue working an alternate design and will share it on the forum. But for now, if I wanted to install something now, I would choose the dam...even though I have already purchased the air tabs and they are sitting on my workbench as I write this.
