there are companies that make legit electronically powered superchargers, but they dont look like this...they look like a normal supercharger, but comes with a series of electric engines mounted to it, and they are VERY expensive...like thousands of dollars...

you can't compare the fan in your house to a car. the fan in your house has to be that size to push air into those big ducts, and the fan in your house only spins @ 4,000rpm's. now ours spins @ 22,000rpm's and draws 803 cfm, but you would already know this, correct? since you claim that their all crap. then you must have tested everyone for yourself to proove this. that would include the e-ram, the thomas knight version, and ours. i would be very interested in seeing these tests that you have performed. and you must have them, because i know that you wouldn't make claims like their all crap, without the proof.

Dude, I have a '94 Civic. You are claiming like 30+ Hp and 18+ torque. You send me one, I'll put it on my car and if I get HALF of those gains I will be the new Street Freakz spokesman and you will have all the cred you need for this forum.

a turbocharger on a SRT-4 spins at some 80,000rpm...all you have there is a leaf blower painted yellow!

I must say you appear to be very upset at the flaming that is going on here about electric superchargers. You asked about proof, and such for saying these are all crap. I think you have it all wrong here. If you are trying to sell a product you have to show proof of it working. Blank statements mean nothing to me. Personal real world experience is what counts. So my first question to you is how does

now ours spins @ 22,000rpm's and draws 803 cfm,


translate to psi(or boost in power)? please enlighten me!

800 cfm would be ~ 2 psi of boost if I am not mistaken

Yeah, but you're missing the point, RPM and CFM are meaningless without an associated delivery pressure. You could have a "fan" at 80,000 rpm with a CFM of 1000, but if it can only hold 0.1 psi what good is all the spinning if the air is no longer moving in(compressing)?

CFM has no direct relations to psi unless you also have the delivery pressure rating.

thank you...97...

but even if it had proper delivery measures, 22,000 still would not make for a very strong forced induction system...in comparison to a real turbocharger
