I saw this one on a 1998 Dodge pickup
truck. Talk about large area and thin. Must be 32 inches
wide by 24 inches high by about 3/4 inch thick. Dodge still
has not figured out that they need to seal the edge of the hood
to prevent dynamic pressure build up behind the rad. There is
one huge fan that goes along with this thing. The overflow and
recovery tank looked to be about two or three gallons.

Hi Paul,
 Back in 1998 Ford asked Langley NASA to do flow testing on one of their new
SUV's.  Under the hood, that is. Microballoons were blown/ sucked into the
radiator
and flow sensors all over the place.  They were well satisfied with the
results even tho the
entire car was full of the resultant dust. That told them a lot, also.
They gave the car to NASA with the agreement it would never be driven on
public roads.
Took us a month to clean it up, and it may still be running around Langley.
I retired, and could
not take it with me.

Fly fast, land slow
