I would buy it if they throw in a free set of Ginsu knifes, or maybe you could rig it up to a clapper. Like clap your hands when you want more power.

Wow, I would not want to be the guy with my face and car on that site representing them, by the way, its not even a compressor so it can't really make any pressure. Might be good if you have a REALLY small engine with a long intake but not worth the money.

I've seen a similar thing in ebay. Funny stuff. It reminds me of when a buddy of mine, years ago, wanted a little extra power in his Chevy Celebrity to beat a Honda Civic guy out of his parking lot at work. We sort of figured out how to adapt a centrifugal HVAC blower, using an extra battery and a power inverter. Not a very intelligent solution!

An electric supercharger is about as useless as a solar flashlight.
