161 DRAG-REDUCING DEVICE US13380179 2010-06-23 US20120104791A1 2012-05-03 Frank Visentin
An apparatus for reducing drag on a transport vehicle, which comprises retractable aerodynamic panels for deployment at the rear of the vehicle, behind the cabin, or both. When these panels are deployed, they provide an aerodynamic design, thereby reducing drag and turbulence as the vehicle travels, for example, down a highway, which in turn, reduces energy costs associated with transportation. When not in use, the panels retract adjacent to the planar surfaces of the vehicle (for example, the sides, top and bottom surfaces). The retracted panels are housed either on the outside surface of the vehicle; the inside surface of the vehicle, or within the walls of the vehicle. The retracted position of the panels allows for easy unloading of cargo from the rear of the vehicle when it is docked.
162 DRAG REDUCTION DEVICE BETWEEN CARRIAGES OF HIGH-SPEED MULTIPLE UNITS US13172814 2011-06-29 US20110253002A1 2011-10-20 BANGCHENG SUN; LIHANG WANG; JUN GAO; JIJUN MA; JIN LIU; QINGGANG ZHANG
The present invention provides a drag reduction device between carriages of high-speed multiple units for reducing air drag, which belongs to the technical field of railway carriages. The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a drag reduction device between carriages of high-speed multiple units comprises side windshields arranged on side edges of each end wall of a carriage body. Each of the side windshields includes a bar rubber capsule and a rubber capsule frame whose shapes are matched with a curve of the side edge of the end wall of the carriage body. The rubber capsule is connected with the end wall of the carriage body by the rubber capsule frame. The device is simple in structure, convenient and quick to install, and the multiple units need not to be broken up or made up. Furthermore, the device can effectively reduce the air drag resulting from the impact of the airflow on the end wall of the carriage body and increase the running speed of the train.
163 AERODYNAMIC PSEUDOCONTAINERS FOR REDUCING DRAG ASSOCIATED WITH STACKED INTERMODAL CONTAINERS US12940649 2010-11-05 US20110056406A1 2011-03-10 Michael E. IDEN
Disclosed is an aerodynamic pseudocontainer for a train. The pseudocontainer is configured to be stacked atop an intermodal container so that its aerodynamic configuration reduces drag when the train is in motion, thereby reducing fuel costs and emissions. The pseudocontainer may have connectors on its bottom so that when it is placed on top of the intermodal container, locking devices may be used for attachment. Also, a top portion and a support frame of the pseudocontainer include fittings with receiving openings configured to receive parts of a positioning device (e.g., a crane) to stack and align the body atop intermodal container. The fittings may be formed in accordance with ISO standards.

The air inlet according to the invention is in a position to remove air from a flow boundary layer and to provide said air to air-consuming systems.
168 ENERGY-SAVING VEHICLE US12559543 2009-09-15 US20100007172A1 2010-01-14 Xiaoyi ZHU
An energy-saving vehicle, has a housing including an outer portion, an inner portion, an air-flow channel, at least a first air inlet, and at least an air outlet, a pair of front wheels, a pair of rear wheels, and a steering wheel. The air-flow channel is disposed between the outer portion and the inner portion of the housing. The first air inlet is disposed in the front of the vehicle The air outlet is disposed at the back of the vehicle, The first air inlet and the air outlet are connected to the air-flow channel. The front wheels and the rear wheels are driven by a power unit. The length of the air-flow channel is no less than that of the upper portion of the housing. As the vehicle travels at a high velocity, air is led in from the air inlet and sprayed from the back of the vehicle, instantly filling a low pressure region at the back of the vehicle and turning the back of the vehicle into a high pressure region, which saves energy. Moreover, since the length of the air-flow channel is larger than that of the upper portion of the housing, lift resistance is eliminated, and the vehicle travels more stably.
