Electric Supercharger????

I thought the leaf blower dyno proved it works. (notcool)

Awww man, I was wanting to say that. But hey the leaf blower has 2 dyno vids to provie it!! (hand)

The Power to drive it has to come from somewhere... Alternator...

On a cerious note, it wouldn't take any more power to run it than it would your average sound system. A gain is a gain, but I wouldn't want to do it just because everyone would laugh.

Ok, So you are telling me that this is like a Perpetual Motion Device.

It costs HP to Drive the Alternator to drive the 20 Amp Motor, End of Story. HP Goes Up, Load On Electrical brings it back down. Plus your alternator will die early. JUNK!

Plus as stated earlier, the fan melts due to the extreme heat in your engine bay, and pieces go into your engine....pa-pow.

No, it's not like a perpetual motion device, and I dont think it's wise to do this at all, but id does add hp. It will put a little more load on the alternator, but it's the same theory as a supercharger; there is parasitic drag, but the HP boost more than makes up for it.

Meh, you very well might be right, but I think it would yield at least a small boost. I'm sure as hell not gonna try it though.

I am going to go out on the limb and say someday there will be such thing, becuse it is possible but not today
