lol good laugh, tho could probly make that if nos was fitted proper, that leaf blower would probly skav almost as much power as it made if it was taking power from car, they make a "supercharge" liek that anyway rotrex or something. Leaf blowers alot cheaper then that rotrex junk tho lol

if you got a transformer and rectifier and cut pipes off leaf blower to fit it in it might make some cheap power, probly wont last long tho

Err, Rotrex superchargers are serious pieces of kit, not this electic crap people sell on e-bay!
Rotrex is just the brand name for a company that makes centrifugal superchargers which in themselves are just a generic product.

I would love a Rotrex on my motor -but I think the electric thing you are referring to is called "Turbo ZET" -looks like a fan in a tube... Seems like a crap idea to me!!

IIRC it looked like a compressor side of turbo with a motor where turbine should be
