Seriously? I suppose it is possible, but the shape of the moving body would have to be pretty precise to get enough air moving fast enough to change pressure enough to lower the temperature in critical areas.

Glen - he's not talking about wind chill. He's talking about conservation of energy and the ideal gas law. Think of how cold a carburetor gets when a lot of air moves through it. PV=nRT
