I like the simplicity of the actuation based on airspeed. Using physical properties vs. electronics seems most reliable. This doesn't however address the issue of the stated need for additional cooling in hotter seasons or for increased cooling system requirements.

Short of the wax pellet actuator (like in the 70's water cooled VW airboxes) is there a better way to do this?
