The trick will be finding the balance between high speed blockage and low speed air flow. I have decided to follow up on my own test design. I found a cheap air speed meter on amazon and I purchased several steel mesh sheets with varying open areas. I should have results by this weekend.

I think there is something here. Have you ever had a fan in a window with a screen that gets starved when there is a gust of wind.
