bill's car (again):
he explained that this was an improvement to the straight cut-out design as the air gets confused without the lip (got the tip from maybe chuck beck). paul  |

QUOTE(lotus_65 @ Mar 25 2008, 06:16 PM)  bill's car (again): he explained that this was an improvement to the straight cut-out design as the air gets confused without the lip (got the tip from maybe chuck beck). paul Gets confused? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Do most people think that physics are a work of black magic? Air hits lip, is forced up, creating a low pressure zone behind the lip, which draws more air through the vent. About 1.33 times as much air as without the lip. The side lips do nothing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Meanwhile, the vent through the hood is an EXTREMELY common design. He *may have copied it from you. He may have copied somebody else. It doesn't matter. Your design, although "unique" in your perspective, has no novelty. It's not trademarkable, and not patentable. And you obviously didn't pursue either. I say that you should contact him through ebay and threaten to skin his mother's cat with tin snips. Don't even tell him why. Just say you're going to kill the cat. If it bothers him, he may just stop using ebay altogether. If it doesn't bother him, report his ass to PETA, and let them handle it. |
