Think of it as running 3 starters with 2 batteries.



Constant flow, not proprortional to engine speed.



Sort of like nitrous, only more complicated.







For those who like doing it the hard way.

Some company made this prototype a few years back.

It had possibilities, but too many problems & expenses.

It's NLA.

And a second battery.

And some heavy duty control circuits & relays.

And some custom blow-off control.

And some bypass piping & valving for normal driving.

And some fuel system mods.

Etc..



That's why it didn't sell.

I believe the company your thinking about is TurboDyne. Their charger is different.



http://www.turbodyne.com/



They use to market an electric blower known as a TurboPac. Honeywell purchased the rights to the patent, but never manufactured. Turbodyne had to sue Honeywell to regain control of their product. By then the damage was done.

The patent image on Turbodyne's web site looks like it as a 1/4 maybe 1/2 HP electric drive motor - pretty lame..
