Hello Paul,

   was just outside - temperature is at around minus 7 degrees Celsius ...

   I don't like the cold, ice + snow (in fact, I hate it ...).
   So I'm using to say:
    Global warming, please come quick,
    or I will getting really sick ...

   Sorry for my bad English ... ;-)

   Which temperature do you have ?

   But lets get serious again ...

   I've "found" some time to look at my collection ...


   Here are some japanese patents by Mazda. Unfortunately even the results /
   diagrams at the end of the patents have no english text. So we have to
   suspect, what the Mazda team try to tell us ... ;-)

   Would be great to get a translation at least of the results ... ;-)

   No one out there, who can understand Japanese or has a friend to help us ?

   The newest patent is JP002015190377, filed in 2014. The target is reducing
   the cooling losses.

   JP002011262642 is a forerunner of JP002013050040, filed in 2010 + 2011. They
   are related to the "VG" (vortex generator concept). The older one with two
   small "steering paddles", the newer one shows the effect of the right angled
   "blade" ...

   JP002015078664, filed in 2013, shows an "arrow type" recess. Perhaps you
   like to compare it with the US...3297005 by Heinz Lamm of Daimler-Benz
   (1963).

   Heinz Lamm was the "Chief" of the engine test department + therefore he has
   seen the engines running on the test bed + after taking apart for inspection
   ... so he has had a lot of expierience ... ;-)

   He was one of the inventors of the patent US3398724, that I've already sent
   to you ...

   I hope, you have had a good "new year start" + that we soon will see the TtC
   record flight ...

   With kindest regards from "old germany"

   That's good. My ex wife is in Frankfurt :-) I hope she freezes her pippy off :-)

   It is 56 F here now in SoCal  and will get all the way down to 49 F tonight :-)

   I think the best way to express this is screen capture the pictures of the recesses
   and send the jpgs.  Here are a few.

   So far nobody has tried my idea of the squish flow bypass so far.
   Obviously non of this worked.


   Paul Lamar  Happy New Year.


   Hello Frank, I am in central Alberta, Canada outside a the town of Whitecourt. Today was -11°C with overnight of -20°C. January and February can get down to -30 or -40°C. Daytime highs of -20°C are quite tolerable as long as no breeze. About 6 or 7 winters ago we had a couple of mornings at -50°C. Now that was cold. Even the truck refused to go to work.
