Probably just an electric leaf blower motor converted to DC. If it were $20 I'd get one for shits and giggles.

great piece....

considering that at my redline I require nearly 600cfm.....

consider this: how much power will it require from your alternator to run?

Yeah, mabee 650 CFM with no pressure resistance.

The thing will draw no more power than your A/C fan cause thats all it is. Look at the pics, there is nothing more on the inside of the scroll housing than a cage fan. A fan of that type would be lucky to product even a half a psi of pressure if that much. And if it could make that much pressure it would flow almost no volume with that differential. There is a reason why a turbo or supercharger turbine looks the way it does compared to a cage fan.

The worse part of this scam is that two people have bid on it already.

A fool and their money is easily parted. I bet that fan doesn't even retail for more than $50.

If I wasn't such a lazy ass I would do the exact calculations on how much power it takes to compress 650 CFM of air to about 5 PSI.

If my memory serves me correctly I think it takes between 5 and 10 horse power to do so.

If any of you are familiar with electric motors you can imagine how big the electric motor required to do this would be. It would also require over 4,000 watts of electrical capacity to power that motor.

I prefer to use my waste gasses to power my compressor.
