Re: electric supercharger turcharger
Think of it this way. According to your profile, you have a TA and a Mustang. Both of these make around 150hp and 220hp (stock) respectively. An engine on the intake stroke is basically a large vacuum pump. So you have a 200hp pump sucking air in, and you want to add a .05hp fan to help it get air? Common sense says it won't work.
Superchargers and turbochargers are designed only to compress and flow large ammounts of air, and require a significant ammount of power. This is a plastic fan that uses nearly no power and is not designed to compress any air or flow any significant ammount.
It is possible to make an electric supercharger - go buy a 20hp motor, find somewhere to fit it in your car, hook a gearbox and a compressor to it, load the front of your engine with high output alternators and you've done it - added a giant 150 pound motor to your car which is powered by a excessively complex and inefficient means, and filled your engine bay with alternators. Not to mention the cost of a 20hp electric motor.. I haven't ever priced one, but I'd imagine they're not exactly pocket change. Probably over $1000.
If you want a remote mounted supercharger, you can run a fluid turbine off the crank connected to one on a compressor.
