I just joined this list after seeing all the posts regarding the eRAM.
If you forget all the bogus products out there that do not work, and have no business of working for many reasons, you will see that the eRAM's concepts are based on solid physics and automotive engineering
Here are the specs.
908cfm (measured on a flow bench)
13volts
3lbs of thrust (shown on the video)
24,000rpm
1psi net change in intake pressure with use of the eRAM on WOT
5% hp gains as seen on many cars , measured by a rear wheel (or front wheel ) dyno jet 248e.
Use by a pro racing team for over 4 years, with no issues. On several club racer's cars that have been dynoed and are also used on the street.
dont confuse the flow rating of a carburetor , with the requirements of an engine. its related to its size, and generally, a 5 liter engine will draw close to 500cfm at 6000rpm. you can divde this for your engines output.
1hp motors can exist in the size that we are using. they are expensive and made to Military type specs. (rare earth magnets, all cnc machined aluminum parts, etc) The eRAM works only at WOT, so the duty cyle is pretty low, so we can hit the motor hard for short durations. at a track like laguna, even a top driver will only be on the WOT for 40 seconds a lap, on a 1:40 second lap. drag racing only takes less than 15-16 seconds , (or less!)
The 10hp gains we got on several porsche 911s , on top of the 200hp rear wheel that we tested , was real and done by an independent dyno shop, and club racer!
If you have any questions, I would be happy to address them.
