Car Cooler
I was looking at how the Aptera Type 1 uses the solar panel to power the AC/Heat Pump even when the car is parked to keep the car cool and I had an Idea.
What if you took a cheap 12v solar panel and connected it to a somewhat large blower fan that took hot air from the cabin and blew it across the engine. You would use a larger fan than those things in the infomercials. The idea is that if you can keep the interior cooler, the AC will work less to get the car cool. Also by blowing the hot air across the engine, it could possibly raise the temperature of the eninge 1 or 2 degrees and help a little with efficiency.
The obvious benefit is that, you can get into a somewhat cool car.
What does everyone think, would that yield any real gains in fuel economy?
