A duct system is disclosed for increasing the efficiency of a vehicle by decreasing the air resistance of the vehicle. The system utilizes a ducting system with a projection means at the front end and the back end of the vehicle to equalize air pressure and to decrease turbulence in areas surrounding the vehicle. Radiators heat the air within the ducting system aiding the equalizing air flow.

A body for a vehicle adapted to increase the fuel efficiency of the vehicle comprising: a front end having an upper area and a lower area, projection means surrounding said front upper area being adapted to isolate an upper high pressure zone in front of said upper area at said front end, projection means surrounding said front lower area being adapted to isolate a lower high pressure zone in front of said lower area at said front end, a rear end having an upper area and a lower area, projection means surrounding said rear upper area being adapted to isolate a low pressure zone behind said upper area of said rear end, projection means surrounding said rear lower area being adapted to isolate a low pressure zone beind said lower area of said rear end, first duct means connecting the lower high pressure zone at the front of said vehicle in fluid flow relation to the low pressure zone at the rear end of said vehicle, second duct means connecting the upper high pressure zone at the front end of said vehicle in fluid flow relation to the low pressure zone at the rear end of said vehicle, whereby in said front zones the pressure is decreased and in said rear zones the pressure is increased thereby reducing the resistance of the air pressure differential and assisting the engine to urge the vehicle forward.
