Re radiators, "You can't make butter with a toothpick". Ie, size matters.
However, the graph is awfully steep getting near zero air flow - every little bit of CFM helps, especially the first few. A truely passive rig would be an acheivement, and probably not portable.

I've not done any research on this, and so I agree that my design ideas above are probably newbie and illconsidered - hence my "Hmmmm".
