It'd be great if someone were able to measure the actual cfm of air flowing through typical nose openings and ducts and compare it to blowers like Sherwood shows. There's no such thing as free energy with an electric fan, of course, but it seems like there might be a worthwhile tradeoff if you could evacuate air from a no-benefit high pressure area (like ahead of and above the front wheels), and use a blower to keep the brakes showered in a constant (i.e. not speed-dependent) stream of cooling air.
