Electric Turbo (more info), A few websites for you to visit Options

This is obviously not for the anti-electric turbo people, but if you do want an electric turbo or are not sure what to think about it. Check out these websites. Sounds like these turbos really work, but I dont know about the durability. Sorry if these websites have been posted already.

You people who say electric turbos are physically impossible are talking out your ass. How can you say something is impossible?

I agree that those ebay turbos are a waste of time.. but electric turbos aren't.

Maybe so if you are talking about electric fans (powered by the engine or batteries). What about high powered electro magnets .. which required practically no power. What about frictionless turbines/air compressors/things not invented or tried yet?. What about the next 50-100 years of car/engine evolution? Do you honestly think that we will be using mechanically driven "boosters" in the future?

When these techniques (turbo and superchargers) were created we barely understood electricity and any of it's uses. I honestly believe that old style turbo and superchargers will be replaced by new forms of boost some time in the future. Although as soon as the combustion engine is replaced newer turbo's will likely die anyway so it's probably a race against time.

The only thing that has slowed this evolution down, is computer management. To be able to alter flow speed electronically (and more recently to do this cheaply) instead of mechanically. I am by no means an engineer or scientist, but talk to one, and they'll agree with me.
