Red face ELECTRIC TURBOS BUSTED

READ ALL THE WAY DOWN
there's really not that much

people always wonder about the electric turbo/supercharger..people actually suggest it to friends and being ignorant will purchase 1 and install with out doing a dyno or going down to your nearest 1/4mile track to test stock 1st for comparison

they do not work..50 bucks, 30 minutes to install if that its intriguing..but the damn stuff doesnt work lol

1. it is electrically spun 1st off and that should be your FIRST HINT! that pretty much tells you right there it isnt going to work. due to the fact that if it is manually being spun somewhere else means it is literally restricted to how fast it will go, even if the force of air coming in were to try and push it faster..picture a R/C car..you turn it on move the thumb stick all the way forward and let it go as fast as it can..if you have ever noticed on a R/C car or anything remotely operated as such, if you let those wheel spin a fast as they can, and then try to put your hand under them and move them with added force, there will be resistance and actually slow the wheels down due to the fact that they are only intended to only move so fast

2. there is no compression, there at no point in time is any sort of air flow direction or mechanically moving part that squeezes and compresses the air after it is grabbed. which in turn, against what you think of for the laws of physics, the opposite will happen..the air coming in can actually "turn around" in itself and be pushed right back out from where it came from called diversion

imagine the human body..the muscles in your eye and tongue are considered the strongest muscles in the whole body, granted they cant do pushups or lift 100 pounds..its due to the performance that can put out with the size available..like how ants are 1 of the strongest insects..cuz of what it can carry compared with how big they are

..electric turbos are the same thing..for the size and how they work and what they do "technically" (which means, according to the rules) it can put out up to 50+ extra HP..which also allows them to find the lupole due to the fact yes, it can increase so called "HP" by 50 (on paper) but in reality cant cuz its just physically impossible for it to actually condense anything to force in more air

might just be easier to watch this also lol..just found it for the purpose of any visual people..
