I think he said they were using eight small diameter fans in an array using brushless motors. I'm picturing continuously variable speed drives and a separate engine driven alternator for power. It'll be interesting to see how they work out the power requirements. It'd be great if this system can be retrofitted to our buses.

I see this set up a lot here in Florida , mostly on local transit buses.
Mostly MAN diesels. Like the set up here.
