don't remember who it was, someone at the last cypress meet i went to, we were talking about electric super chargers. totally forgot about it until now.

this is what i was talking about, a guy by the name of thomas knight created one that uses 3 motors...

he use to have a really sweet website where you could calculate hp numbers with boost, but it looks like he took down a lot of stuff

wow what a joke. and for a turbo magazine to publish something like that is even worse.

hlaalu

why is it a joke? you're just used to see all the leaf blower motors on ebay

one off the top of my head is a application guide that has mis spelled car company's and second is they are not even alphabetically organized

Cool idea though.

not sure what that has to do with the functionality of the device. many good mechanics cant spell worth a damn. how many Camaro owners cant even spell the name of their car properly?

ive heard of these, and im not willing to trust that it works, but there is potential. the HP drain by the current draw would be far greater than that of a normal supercharger.

BTW those import mags will publish anything that bolted up to an import. I saw an article about those fake caliper covers that look like brembos one time in an import magazine.

i like the idea if you are using the excess energy produced by your alt to power the "blower" in times of need, but other then that i dont think i would spend money on it.

i think you need to do a little more research, he has many "dyno-proven" results.

now in no way would i ever buy one of these, but hey, they work. i think it is a really cool concept. key word concept.

It probably works for a certain about of time but for the cost of an alternator that produces 700 amps i rather just buy an actual supercharger. Think about the hp you'll lose from running such a big alternator.

hlaalu

yea i agree. but on the other hand, lets say you use it just for track use. every run or two you just swap out a battery. it would be nice to have boost right off the line.

lilpb1

iTrader: (13)

Agree, but you will never be able to brag about. Unless your at the track.

It feels better knowing you have that kind of power on demand. I think tuning would also be a problem.

hlaalu

iTrader: (3)

yea i would imagine tuning would be a big issue with this.

lilpb1

iTrader: (13)

Hey it would be good for track use only.

I got it lets put a huge fan on our intakes snip the plug off and wire it to an alternate battery that could be fun... LOL yeah cool concept but needs to be made more efficient.

hlaalu

iTrader: (3)

my idea is just hooking up a scuba tank directly feeding into the intake... my boost can range anywhere from 1 - 100psi

iTrader: (21)

LOL hahahah thats awesome I am down.

wow dude, you should pat yourself on the back, you basically just described nitrous oxide, but about 100 years late. nice try

on a side not that **** is sig worthy.
