Another close up view of the exhaust gizmo.
This picture was taken by me at OSH 2000.

Charlie, how come you did not streamline the exhaust pipes?

Charlie is obviously attempting to create a vortex using the exhaust gases inside
the augmentor tube with this gizmo. A vortex would have an extremely low pressure at
its core. There appears to be a lot of potential here and I would really like
to see a pressure survey all over the inside of this device.
