im not saying its actually working...because this is a video and you can do what you want to them. but they supposedly tried and it worked. but whatever....figured id post it up for people to see themselves. im sure if it did work.....like the video youd only be able to do it on the dyno with the hood open. i doubt youd be able to rig it up to run while your driving and if so it would porbably be a pain to setup.

I think it'd technically slow things down... added weight that doesn't compensate for itself... LOL
Funny idea though.

Now if we could just get the motor to power the compressor, say, i dunno', use like, the exhaust pressure to spin a wheel - or wait! I've got it! Dude! Use a belt drive like an accessory! Yeah! That might do it!
D'oh!
D'oh!

their dyno chart shows 6 hp and 5 ft lbs torque. Not too impressive. that $299.98 would be better spent on a header or intake cam, imho. Just my $02, but add that to the purchase price and you've got 300 bucks!

I love how one of their selling points is that the new "6th gen" version draws MORE current than the older version. As if taxing the vehicle's charging system even more is a good thing.
