Would this be interesting?

Don't know enough about bugs so I am probably totally full of crap, but wouldn't cooling by means of an omotor/alternator be a lot less efficient than the current design? After all, there is loss through both yet still needs to basically do the same thing. Your alternator would need to be pretty beefy as well so wouldn't this also cause a significant power loss to the engine?

I think the current design is pretty elegant for what it needs to do -- probably pretty hard to beat in efficiency and relative performance.

Default answer == NO - due to inadequate explanation.

Are you dreaming that an electric fan could replace the belted system? Nope. No can do, and for so many reasons I won't list them.

It takes more horsepower to generate the electricity to run the electric fans than you would save with the standard system.

I like the idea. Give it a try and let me know how it works out. Dennis
