If you look at the cfm of even very powerful small electric fans, you can work out that you would need at least 100 of them to make even a small difference and an alternator the size of Essex to power them.

you can get faster!

plus the fan is a restriction on the airflow

if a fan is a restriction on airflow why have 2 of them on the radiator?

Too cool the radiator down when they're is no air flowing through it. ie. heavy traffic! What sort of a question/ statement is that ?
