Even if the fans were 2$ a piece he has what looks like 30. About 15$ worth of wiring and zipties and probably a good 3-4 hours installing/wiring everything.
Wonder if it works though.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I only see a few zip ties, the fans look to be held on with wire so depending on where the fans were sourced it could have cost less than $5, i.e. free "recycled" fans.
Two thoughs come to mind, total CFM with all those fans and total covered (or open) area on the radiator. That may all me a restriction compared to a proper fan.
I like the "spirit" of the repair though.

I would love to see a video of it working. I have a feeling it won't work at all- once the car gets up to a reasonable speed the wind through the radiator will push the fans back into the housing where they will stall out and not do anything.

No ****, I took an old case fan, hooked it up, and pressed against the center of the blade to see how much pressure it would take.
