What does chemistry have to do with airflow? 
And for anything to develop pressure, it would have to be completely sealed. The engine bay is not a sealed compartment.

vasily, what did you do to make sure rain doesnt enter (and if it does, where does it go?)

Still haven't seen any funtional scoops yet. Out of all the posts I like Caesars idea the best. Keeps the stocker look without cutting holes in the hood and is functional. It would be interesting if someone tested these in a wind tunnel to see what gets the maximum forced cold air.

You keep saying it's better to get air through the fog light. How do you get the intake filter to be behind the fog lights? You mean the injen kind which sits right behind the radiator?

the fact is that the hole is very tiny. If you think that the forced air will go into such a tiny hole and effectively reach the filter...you are wrong.
Jimes setup is nice since it separates teh intake from the rest of the engine bay. By having the pipe end exactly where the headlight opening is...it forces the air to have a DIRECT path into the intake.
an INdirect path will be close to useless.
