Just a few thoughts. That leaf blower looks to be gas powered, and the smoke video just proves that a fan sucks......we knew that. And the price for the electric fan you linked is $400. There is no free lunch, forced induction takes HP to generate boost, whether it's from the exhaust, a pulley, or electricity generated by the alternator. I would guess a DC motor ( or inverter and AC motor ) big enough to generate useful boost would be fairly large and heavy.
