Racing Electric Supercharger for all cars (aluminum Fan) FORD FIESTA UNO SAXO | eBay

I would assume that these dont work at all, but thought i'd ask anyway

Has someone covered them already?

Fringe tech?

If you want a bit of a laugh.

I thoroughly enjoyed that!

the idea can work, but that implementation is ****e.

I'm sure ford played around with it, using a LARGE electric motor and the front part of a supercharger.

The current consumption is massive though!

Google spits out this photo:

Which gives you an idea of the SIZE the components need to be to actually work!
