anyone ever thought of using a Stirling engine as power for the water pump? throw an electric assist for added measure and use the heat off the oil, radiator, the coolant itself, or the block to run it. if it was calibrated to run at full speed at 210° and come on slowly before that... it could help reduce load and heat the block quicker, a double whammy


(edit) no, a triple whammy. seeing how it uses the heat out of the engine/coolant it would lower the demand on the radiator to cool thus reducing the the square area necessary, and be able to close off more of the grille opening
