As I sort of suspected, the general consensus is that it wouldn't work, thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks for the input .....

Old ram air technology
Hey simon,
Do you remember the old days with Ram air I think this is the same principle. Camaros transams etc use to use it.

This looks like the full thing that one you had seemed a bit lean but they are claiming up to 60000 however it only works off claimed blade technology with the air coming in.
This seems like the same but electic operated.
Then again I am not technical seems there are lots who are and they would know more about it.
Dont discount do a bit more research on RAM air induction systems.
This unit but is a bit more expensive at the same price you could pick up a turbo for.

If only it came with that supercharger whirring noise, it would sound awesome. Just like getting that blow-off valve sound for N/A cars.
You were bound to get shot down about this product, but unfortunately there are people in this world that will get caught up in the internet bullshit.

The idea is right however there is a big problem, pressure. Sure the thing can probably move air, much like any DC computer fan, heck I have a 120mm one here that moves over 100 CFM, but the problem is it could not pressurize a car intake for shit. The reason turbos overcome this and create the boost we all love is because they spin so god damn fast. Look at a non centrifugal supercharger, say a roots style blower, the ones that came stock on the Toyota's in the 80s and 90s span at around 10,000 rpm and they use a much better method of building pressure than spinning fan blades. So unless this thing has some super motor in it and amazing bearings its not going to spin fast enough to ever be anything more than a hindrance to your car.
Pretty sure most of that is right, feel free to correct where necessary.
