If you have a 100w electric exhaust fan at the rear of a velomobile will you get 100w of forward propulsion?
I remember exhaust fans were used in pedal car races before they were banned because the racers were getting an extra 5-6km top speed from their use. They were using rc airplane motors.
I want to know if an exhaust fan could be used as forward propulsion and how efficient it is.
I'm asking in this forum because people here may be familiar with the workings of propellers.
