Long thread about this some time ago on the 911 board.

A couple basic engineering equations prove that this cannot work. In order to produce the positive pressure claimed, enough electrical power is required that it would literally melt the wiring within 8-10 seconds.

One of the funniest threads ever, when the guy promoting the electric supercharger kept making the same rediculous claims over and over, totally unable to answer the challenges posed by a few very bright engineers.

Finally came down to dyno runs. A couple guys volunteered their cars, showed up at the dyno, Mr. electric supercharger approved the cars and testing methods. The dyno runs showed zero gain. Zero.

Then Mr. electric supercharger came up with all kinds of reasons the dyno runs were unfair, and it really was a great product. More hilarity ensued when he was called on the carpet.

Eventually, I think the guys head just exploded. Went nuts at everybody who questioned him, until he left, never to be heard from again.

Bottom line- This makes as much sense as the guy who poured BBs down his intake to clean out carbon deposits and destroyed his engine.
