That will boost the voltage but, alas, at the cost of current. And since the
coil stores power inductively you could only use it in bursts like an ignition
does. It actually might work if you don't mind putting the window down in 50
separate jerks. But the potential for arcing inside the motor at that high of
a voltage makes the whole concept very interesting and I'd really like to be
there when you fire it up! BTW I realize you were joking :)
