You might want to research boundry layer theory in fluid dynamics or the next time you are going down the freeway put down your window and lay your hand on the roof. You will notice no air movement across you hand when laid on the roof at 60mph, It is not until you move your hand away about 1/2 inch. Same in your engine without thermostat, in some instances the flow rate from the water pump can be high enough you get stagnant water next to the engine block. Water to water heat transfer is not as efficient as block to water
transfer rate.

thermostat open at their stated temperature but do not FULLY close until about 10 degrees below there set point.

160F thermostat equals cold cylinder walls and hot pistons which equal excessive wear.

Thanks for the laugh. Not being disparaging, that statement actually gave me a good laugh.

Do a Delaware search for Boundary Layer LLC. Give you one guess who in this thread owns it.

I'll let the arguing go with that.

Ok, I just took a ride in my car and placed my hand on the roof while cruising.

I felt the wind. Now what?

Must have been a cross wind, shoot your car is frictionless, you don't need fuel, sell the technology.

OK but I found that post to be a bit disturbing.

Delaware is a little friendlier on some corporate and limited liability company issues, so you set your company up under that state's laws to make your life a little easier. I take it he did that and named his company "Boundary Layer." Unless that would be on a big chocolate cake, I don't know what a boundary layer is.

Zactly. Was in GA under Boundary Layer Products, but shortened for DE. Not important that people know what a boundary layer is, however, probably a good idea that the owner of a company named such does.
