Correct me if I'm wrong but intuition says the the area of highest static pressure at the front of a vehicle will be at the most forward, most perpendicular to the wind part of the body where the wind has to change direction the most..?
The static pressure is highest at the center and fades away forward, according to static pressure heat maps I've seen. Sort of a phantom bull nose riding in front.

He used a windmill forward of the stagnation, if it were closer it would be choked off, might do better further forward.

OTOH an impeller close in could work. So long as it didn't block a radiator.

Youtube's end screen suggests two more videos on the topic from Quint BUILDs.
