Be interesting to see how much power it uses/loses in the process itself.
ie in thermodynamics, you get nothing for free.
My final year project at uni involved looking at the heat transfer rates for various tube/fin/coolant arrangements vs the power required to achieve it.
To get higher heat transfer always required power to be put in from an external source, be that a bigger fan or a more powerful coolant pump.
Interesting research tho.
