I'll agree it's better than nothing as far as long term heat build up is concerned, but better than nothing isn't much more than eye candy. It looks really cool on the access panel of a CV Earthquake and gives salesmen something to talk about, but it won't do much to instantly wick away the heat from a 2kW transient. I don't think Wayne's solution is necessarily the best route either, because it attacks the heat problem by trying to cure the symptom rather than the cause. Tom's redux on the Scoop is a more elegant way of beating the heat. Having the motor sitting in the airstream of the mouth is a neat way of keeping it cool without any add-ons, and opens the possibility of using a true heatsink fastened directly to the backplate with heat-conducting epoxy.
