Built in 1970 as an experiment to improve traction in race cars ..... the suction was equivalent to 1000 pounds of downforce .... later it was determined that wings , spoilers , and air dams could do the same thing and race cars began designing aerodynamics into the car bodies .
The suction fans were powered by a JLO snowmobile engine .... I figured Gabor would find the two props driven by one engine interesting ... I presume the drive belts are inside the nacelles

I once got sucked in a car too... that was pretty cool as well
I wonder of it has a catcher underneath it to store the manhole covers, nuts and bolts, paper, leaves and plastic bags etc you might run over? Just a high speed street sweeper I reckon?
