Whole house fan

Has anyone tried using some sort of powered air input to the house so that a whole house fan can be run without opening windows?

Two ideas are going through my mind:

A fan blowing into the lower part of the townhome (a very vertical design) but the air may just make a bee line between that room and the whole house fan.

A fan or a passive input to the forced air system input. A little more difficult to set up but the cool air would be distributed to all the rooms.

With either of these systems, it would only require controlling a couple power circuits to run the system. No need to figure out how to open/close windows.

Any ideas out there?
