The revolutionary technology allows large trucks to substantially reduce its fuel expenditures by using plasma technology to divert air flow away from the vehicle which causes drag. By using this technology (at its current development point), large tractor trailers can reduce their fuel costs by 15% to 30% without any physical appearance changes to the structure of the vehicle.
Our patented active flow control system utilizing plasma actuators has been developed at the University of Notre Dame. Plasma actuators are used to reduce drag on the vehicles , an anticipated fuel savings of over 15% can be achieved on a highway truck .
