Default Auto Bonnet raisers

Have been thinking for months now on how to make a auto bonnet raiser for the rear of the bonnet.

Think i may have come up with an idea now that may work, so at a flick of a switch or temprature controled, you can raise the rear of the bonnet to let that hot summer air out. But for every day driving you can have it shut as normal.

Thing is, i would like some input please, On would it be a good idea and if i did manage to make it work reliably would people be interested in it??

And also im stuck with what to use to push the bonnet up. Want something like a Central locking motor, as its only got a short throw and will raise it to about the right hieght, But not only they look a bit nasty but they wont have enough in them to push the weight of a bonnet up.
So is there anything else people can think of that might be worth looking at??

cheers
