In the motor world, the study of aerodynamics is one of the topics most analyzed to achieve the reduction of the resistance exerted by the air to the advance of a vehicle. Currently there are various methods that try to improve this aspect, requiring several of them of some device that implies a complication in the manufacture and assembly, and may not be valid in some types of vehicles such as, for example, motorcycles, automobiles or cars. trains as they have less space for the installation of new devices. Thus, the present invention consists of an injection nozzle for aerodynamic improvement in vehicles, especially motorcycles, cars or trains, which achieves, through a Venturi effect, to increase the air outlet speed without the use of any other type of device, modifying the aerodynamic profile of the vehicle, bringing it closer to the shape of a slimmer profile, which better adapts to the incident flow.

Applications

Among the advantages of the present invention, the following stand out: • Resistance is reduced, counteracting it and favorably modifying the aerodynamic response of the vehicle. • It is possible to increase the top speed of the vehicle, increasing, in turn, its power, thanks to this new system. • The lower air resistance that is achieved when the vehicle is moving forward, generates lower fuel consumption and therefore, a lower amount of polluting gas emissions into the atmosphere. • This nozzle is easily installable on a motorcycle.
