Abstract
A vehicle is provided in which separation of positively charged airflow from a positively charged surface of a vehicle body can be prevented. A vehicle body is insulated from a road surface, and positive static charges accumulate on the vehicle body during propulsion. The vehicle comprises an ionizing material that is charged negatively during propulsion to decrease the positive potential of a separation point at which positively charged airflow flowing along a vehicle surface deviates therefrom during propulsion.
