Claim 8:
9. A vehicle exhaust dissipation system comprising:
a fan unit including a rotor, the fan unit being structured to be positionable to generate an airflow into exhaust gas exiting an exhaust gas opening of a vehicle;
one or more processors; and
a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing a fan control module including computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
generate an airflow directed into the exhaust gas exiting the exhaust gas opening;
responsive to an increase in a flowrate of the exhaust toward the exhaust opening, control operation of the fan unit to increase a rotation speed of the rotor; and
responsive to a decrease in a flowrate of the exhaust toward the exhaust opening, control operation of the fan unit to decrease a rotation speed of the rotor.
