Interesting Find On Amazon.com

While browsing Amazon.com I stumbled across this little innovative intake. I was wondering If anyone has ever used/heard of, or seen this before. It looks like it was built well, but I'm skeptical if it will do what the manufacturers say it will. It looks to be a bit of a sham, but you never know. Just thought I'd Share.

If it were a reputable enough company, someone could buy it, and dyno it, and when the results show less than stated, sue.
A large enough electric motor capable of pushing enough air to make that boost when there's a draw would drain the electrical system, and a huge alternator would be needed, which would take alot of torque. I would be interested in a system like this, and would like to see if any gains would be made. This one in particular doesn't look anywhere near powerful enough. There are electric air chargers everywhere, and none work practically. In fact, they get in the way after a couple thousands RPM, and hinder air flow. It may do what it claims, and make some air pressure when there's no draw, but you have to be concerned about a system that doesn't increase velocity with demand.
I wish I could bolt on 40 sustainable HP for $3XX, but I can't, and neither can you.
Theoretically, it's great. Practically, it's a scam.

I think you should buy it too ;)

Here's their test results:

An 'independant' tester magazine:
http://www.electricsupercharger.com/pdf ... rticle.pdf
The all-new e-RAM draws 60 Amps from a car
battery in the “pre-charged” state at 13.88V,
resulting in a total power draw of 833 WATTS.
When activated, the e-RAM spools up to 25,300
RPM in less than 1/10th of a second, and tries to
blast 800 CFM into your intake.
lol best not race at night then...

i've had an electronic supercharger before and its crap to start out with but once i got into the higher rpms i noticed a slight difference.
