if you want an electric supercharger... get a leaf blower. saw a video where all they did was put it on a civic on a dyno, gained like 5 horsepower. if you are going forced induction, why not turbo? boostwerks has a good ****
I seriously doubt anyone will ever figure out how to undermine physics and the conservation of energy. There is no way the electric power consumption will ever be less that what it can produce. The efficiency is just not there.

but will it work as well as direct exhaust injection?

I just found it quite amusing. I enjoy how everyone likes to debate. Seriously, did you even look at the return policy? 14 days with preauthorization, has to be new with all of the packaging, and the piece de resistance..... a 25% restocking fee. Did you see how when he started the fan all of the garbage that blew out from the fan. I want that going in my engine.

LOOKS like the direct exhaust system will work.If, by work, you mean blow every engine gasket you have.Eventually the thing will kill its' self due to lack of oxygen.

no way dude it would TOTALLY work. it's an awesome idea.
(it won't, and it isn't)
but, seriously, those little electric fans would just clog up the intake. the engine itself pumps more air than that little thing ever would.
