Hi,
Sorry, but it's mostly a waste of time. As one mentioned, it is a Leaf Blower.
There are no free lunches where making power is concerned, everything is a trade-off. If it were that easy, the Supercharger and Turbocharger would have been put to death years ago, in favor of an electric induction system.
Turbine (fan) design is a very intricate science. It would be very easy to have this 'Fan' cavitate long before it ever produced any appreciable boost. Also, for it to be effective, it would have to draw so much electrical power that every other system in the car would fail and your alternator would burn up in a block.
Just as an example, take the Supercharged Jaguar XKR. At full boost, it produces a net 390-400HP, but the parasitic draw of Crankshaft power by the Supercharger is 86HP. If you had an electric Fan which was more efficient, even twice as much, it would still need a 43HP motor, can you imagine the power draw of this thing?
I suspect most of the positive feedback was done either prior to installation of the device, or it's just a Placebo Effect, because the Science simply doesn't add up.
Happy Motoring!...JIm'99
