It wouldn't be positive displacement. You wouldn't build up any pressure. Even nice Ram Air system's don't see 1 lb of boost at normal speeds cause there's nothing compressing the air into the space and keeping it from bleeding back out.

So basically you're just putting drag on the motor to make a non-electric fan.
