Apparently a "diffuser" is something that goes into a car, and while I also go into a car, I think we go into two different spots, thus disqualifying me from the title of "diffuser."
Le sigh.
All You (and others) ever wanted to know about Diffusers...
Diffuser can refer to any device that diffuses in some manner such as:
In aerodynamics
Diffuser (automotive), a shaped section of a car's underbody which improves the car's aerodynamic properties. It causes air to escape from the underside of the vehicle faster than above air, working like a wing on an airplane in the opposite direction. Results in improvement of downforce.
Diffuser (breathing set part), a device fitted over an underwater breathing set's blow hole to break up the resulting bubbles
Diffuser (optics), a device that diffuses or spreads out or scatters light in some manner
Diffuser (acoustics), a device that scatters reflections of sound across frequencies.
Diffusion filter, a specific optical diffuser used in photography
Diffuser (sewage), an aerating device for sewage and industrial waste water treatments; a membrane with fine pores, through which fine bubbles are generated by the supply of air through blowers
Diffuser (thermodynamics), a device that controls the characteristics of a fluid at the entrance to a thermodynamic open system
Diffuser (heat), a cooking item that can be placed above a stove heating element or burner to separate the cooking utensil from the heat source
