Found on another forum, this involves rolling down one window, then opening and closing the opposite door, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from the outside in. In the test below, they were able to lower the temps by 8 degrees C (about 15 degrees F).

Well yeah, it's meant to get the interior cooled enough that you can sit on the seats. The beaches on the west coast - air temperature 70, car temperature 110. Of course A/C is king but even that takes a few minutes to kick in.

I have one of those windshield shades for my car. I'm pretty impressed at what a difference it makes in the inside temperature of the car when it's been sitting in the sun for a while. But you can't really beat AC.
