+1 Really like the idea. Much better way of dealing with convection to prevent overheating in the car in stopped traffic. The only problem I see is opening and closing the hood without kinking hoses and the weight of the hood full of 2+/- gallons of fluid (an added 16 pounds, plus the weight of the additional layer of aluminum and ducting), but the engineering challenges seem far better than the undercarriage. Obviously engineering it so the hood would fold, like an OEM hood, would remain a priority to prevent decapitation or passenger compartment hot steam injection, but again, I think these issues could be overcome with the right thinkers.
