Default harnessing the heat..

has anyone tried to harness or channel the heat produced from the resistor coils for something usefull??? i was thinking of using like some 2 1/2 in tubing mounted to one end of the coils and running up to the driver.. at the other end of the coils mount a computer fan and have it blow the heat from the coils into the tube and up to the driver.. possible heater!!! what do u think

Remember, at WOT and No throttle you'll blow cold air because the coils are out of the circuit...but yea, Try it and let us know what happens

true and i thought of that... but via use of relays it could work.. and possibly extend the life of the coils a bit by keeping em cooler...
