real electric supercharger?

[rocket2050]

Is there such thing as a real electric supercharger? There are alot of ebay ones which sell for $30+ and I looked at some of the seller's feedbacks and it looked like most people were satisfied about what they bought. I also googled Electric Supercharger and found this supercharger selling for $199. How would I know which one works and which one doesn't?

Thanks

I've heard that they are all bogus. I'm sure others will chime in on this.


Edit: HAHAHAH, look, it can push over a 2X4... It must make your car faster!

my buddy put a electric marine blower in his daytona once, and it worked at low RPMs but he said when it reved higher then what the fan was spinning at it just kinda dogged it, he then removed it and melted it in a fire : )

sound theory, the technology just isnt there yet. everything you see on ebay is basically a blowdryer.

it sounds exectly the same at a blowdryer. There is no way that would make any power

Hmm what if you used a Powerful wet/dry Vac......or a leaf blower??? lol

Positive seller feedback?? LOL a bunch of suckers..... or most of the buyers were fart pipe Honda Civic owners HAhahahahah! Uncle Bens premium rice power lol.

Put it this way, NONE of them work. It takes PSI to push a motor and all of it's pistons + the rest of the drivetrain. CFM makes NO power unless you're blowing yard debris around.

i think a 5oh would suck the whole unit through the intake and crap it out the tail pipes! lol

electric supercharger = snake oil. Like the others stated air under pressure is what it takes just blowing air into it doesn't work. It would probally take a good size electric motor to make one work which equals alot of weight and probally melting the cars charging system in the process. maybe in the future but doubtful.

NO STAY AWAY!!! For an electric motor to create any type of compressed air that will increase power it the motor would be huge and a large drain on the electrical system.

Silly gimmick purchase as old as the Internet itself, maybe older.
