Tech/Engineering
English term or phrase: Wind funnel
Is this similar to a Wind tunnel (to test aerodynamics?)
Dito
Local time: 15:10
embudo eólico
Explanation:
This would be "wind funnel" which might be quite different if there is not an error in the original; for instance a pass in mountains through which a strong wind funnels through; often used for installation of wind turbines to use wind energy "energía eólica" for electric generation. Would that fit the context (if there is one)?

Many thanks

Tolva aerodinamica (de viento)


Explanation:
Funnel is a tolva, within automotive context it would probably be a spoiler or an aerodynamic wing of some sort.
