Anyone using one in there aircraft? I'm doing some research on them and I was hoping someone has some information based on some real-world experience. For those who arn't sure what exhaust augmenters are, here is a description:

Basically, it is a device postioned at the cowling outlet that, when used in tandem with the engine exhuaust, serves to suction cooling air through the cowling and out the outlet. I'm interested in them because I plan on building a canard pusher with a liquid cooled engine. If the augmenters are as effective as they are said to be, this may be an ideal way to help cooling while in groud operations and slow climb-outs.
If anyone has any pictures or information I would really like to hear about it. Thanks.
