Re: What do you all think of this? Supercharger
These electric motors have got to get pretty darned Hot, I can agree with that... BUT!!...
What about the use of a Brushless electric motor ... perhaps a small electric motor, which won't heat up as much, and would be able to spin at closer to 100,000 rpm (the same speed of a real turbo), make the "fan assembly" more of a compression type wheel... The motor is pretty small and as long as you have it in the center of a much larger diameter intake pipe it shouldn't cause much restriction. Then, you should be able to see some kind of a gain... This would be pretty expensive, because the better brushless motors with a speed controller of some sort will cost you at least $300...
If RC guys can get these motors to propel their cars are close to 100 MPH, I'm sure the motors can get somewhat better airflow to the engine... right?
Only time will tell I suppose...
Worse comes to worse, I'll make a new intake tube with one of these and if it doesn't work I'll just make myself a new RC car... it's a win win for me.

uh...
I made mention of RC cars doing 100MPH with the brushless motors because I'm saying the brushless motors are fast enough to get an RC car going 100 mph... The amount of RPMs these things have to spin to get a car going 100 mph has to be pretty high, and the heat can't be too high, because the motor would actually burn out pretty early in its life... So what i'm getting at is using an RC car brushless motor as an intake ...

What I'm getting at is the fact that by the time you have an impeller lage enough to move enough air into a V6 engine there's no way on gods green earth that a tiny electric motor is going to get it spinning! It has more to do with inertia than the speed that a tiny electric motor can turn at.
Either way...try it out...let me know how it works!
