And I'll point out additional real life tests and data in my posts #168, 181 & 184 as a degreed automotive engineer from General Motors Institute with ten years experience at GM and ten more years with Zexel & Behr Climate Control Systems, both being automotive and truck HVAC system suppliers. Electric window/attic fans, and even furnace blowers, do not operate in the same environment as an engine cooling fan. The only similarity is that they have blades and they move air.
