Someone mentioned already that trains do that, but that would require a heating element, maybe a fan, and of course the chance of melting things, or catching stuff on fire if not designed properly.

No shortage of air to move over the heatsink since you're only using the brakes if you're moving, so you shouldn't need a fan.

But there's definitely a fire risk if you're not careful. And you'd have people burning themselves when they pick up the board.
