supercharging using leaf blowers does it work yup video inside

Saw this last weekend, kinda makes you wonder what they could do with weed wackers.
It's nice to see an old Monza again though, those H bodies were pretty fun little cars especially with the optional 350 and a four speed. But man did they rust, just like their little brothers the Vega and Astre, they started to rot on the dealer's lots.

I saw that on a Youtube video. They categorically proved that the electronic
superchargers do not work. The leaf blowers worked better. Bless those guys because I was gullible enough to think I could do it the cheap way.

At WOT, I would say that those things wouldn't spin nearly fast enough to provide any "boost". Turbo's spin in the 150,000rpm range
In simple terms our 2.0l engines would move:
35 cfm @1000 rpms and
210 cfm @6000 rpms
this math is from:
2.0l= .07 cubic ft
.07/2 (because a 4 stroke engine moves air every other revolution)
.035 cubic ft
OBVIOUSLY THIS MATH IS WITH NO BOOST
.035X 1000 rpms= 35 cubic feet per minute moved
some leaf blowers can move 350 or more cfm...this is definitly food for thought...although I am not sure they could come close to what a turbo can do...but they may offset the vacuum created. I am just not sure how much more they would do
