Steve's got it pretty right about the dimples.

They will force the boundary layer to be turbulent. This adds engergy to the boundary layer and allows it to stay attached under heavy negative pressure gradients. This all comes at the cost of greatly increased skin friction.

While there is a lot of vorticity, swirling air that helps atomization/dispersion, in a turbulent boundary layer it is confined to a very small portion of the intake tract. It would be more benificial to introduce vorticity directly into the main airflow.

I would really like to see Endyn has done.

Like a Tornado intake? :lol:
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

Hehe yeah, but only in the last couple inches of the intact tract. So we would want stubby tornadoes :).
