Tricky-Ricky Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 60 odd amp current draw:blink: and i wonder what that goes up to when it tries to pressurise, never seen any evidence that it actually can, i wonder why:eyebrows: wonder how one of those super duper hand dryers would transplant, i have often thought with four of them you could do a VTOL, oh! wait you would need a half ton of batteries and a 300amp alternator:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 But looking at the size of the cable, they cant handle 60 odd amps? and have you noticed that the 2 force flow "superchargers" also have a smaller diameter pipe off the back, which means the speed of the air coming out will be speeded up. If you ask me that entire test is complete bollocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 funny whilst watching the vid my missus is using the dyson they sound the same as im not that up on the workings of a supercharger i know they force air into the engine and as the revs build up i assume so does the airflow . so what do you think would happen if you run one of these ????

paul mac Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 wonder how one of those super duper hand dryers would transplant, i have often thought with four of them you could do a VTOL, oh! wait you would need a half ton of batteries and a 300amp alternator:innocent: wow now theres a project a VSTOL supra , totally agree, complete nonsense, if it worked car manufactures would have done it years ago, how about feeding the cold from the air con into the intake as well, i've heard that works wonders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been done, but it needed a lot more than a PC cooling fan and a 12v supply http://www.boosthead.com/home.php http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0406tur_knight_turbo_electric_supercharger/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
