Neat idea! It reminds me of a simple variometer (rate of climb/sink)
circuit in an old RC glider magazine. It used two small naked bead or
glass encapsulated thermistors in a bridge circuit and the
thermistors were in a tube connected to a bottle. As the air pressure
changed and air flowed in or out, the "up wind" one cooled more
than the "down wind" one in its wind shadow and any "common
mode" temperature changes cancelled. Again the current was set to
give the appropriate self heating. Very similar to what you describe.
Regards,
Graeme
