do they work or not? electricchargers

I am talking about this things http://www.electricchargers.com/
I realize it's kind of too general of the question. I remember I had an old 82 Chevy Caprice Classic where I just disconnected the air pump from emission control system and shoved into the air intake, that brought just a little more power (it had 107k) but also got about 3 mpg. better mileage. OK I did not test it on the dino and measured the mileage pretty crudely, but still it's not all in my head, or is it?
Thanks! m

These electric devices are mostly just toys. There have been several threads on them in the Forced Induction subforum over the last two years.
They do not do much because they lack the capacity to actually compress air in any beneficial way.

Which is a nice way of saying that they're a complete joke

They don't work.
