ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to devices for suppressing the water spray thrown by vehicle tires. The present invention generates an air flow for blocking outward movement of the water spray. Air turbines are attached to the outboard sides of each tire on the vehicle. The air turbines, being rigidly affixed to the hub of each wheel rotate with the wheels and by means of angled vanes disposed in each air turbine generate a flow of air outwardly and perpendicular to the axle. This radial flow suppresses the water spray outboard of each wheel.
