As a matter of fact this was tried several years ago. I believe it was in
a Formula 1 prototype vehicle. Engine coolant was routed inside all four
rotors. Oddly enough they discovered the size of the radiator could be
_REDUCED_!! The rotating rotors effectively removed more heat than they
induced. I guess because the brakes were off more than they were on.
         I only heard about it that one time, I thought for sure it would
become popular.
