    Re: Demo: 2.slow electric supercharger

    a) it's spelt "continuous" not "continuas" might help to run a spell checker to look more professional

    b) are you draining the battery to zero volts, or close to? The graph kind of reflects that on charging. You're probably aware that lion doesn't like to be drained, and with a "cycle life" of 5,000 that only allows for 13 uses a day in a year. One night of cruising with a group and you'll use at least 50-100 uses.

    c) The size of the outlet/inlet and the turbine may create a performance issue when the motor is not powered under normal driving? The engine will have to suck a great deal harder to obtain an effecient amount of air. You'd need the motor to be powered constantly with a custom pwm/rpm table for each vehicle to makeup for the loss of regular drivability power. pic

    d) Using a brushless motor was a very smart idea and it probably can spin at an insane speed. It is a great technology. The motor is most likely 18 or 24 volts, that's why it can't run off the car battery/alternator

    e) Venting the valve cover to atmosphere won't make it DOT street legal. It will only work in a province like Alberta which does not have a smog test.

    f) I'd be curious to see a MAF voltage log (not cfm) of the same car with and without the unit installed/engaged.

    It would be neat if your system works. A little on the expensive side. It will be more cost effective and faster to install nitrous with a dry 15 shot. Or a wet 35+ shot. And those are very very very safe nozzles with greater gains for a better price. Work on your pricing .. I know that is tough as a startup.

    If you'd like, we can put you on a dyno one evening as a third party to validate your claims. i had mentioned it before and the offer still stands. If your system does indeed work, having a bunch of us and a reputable company backup your claims will help sales. Let me know and we'll work something out when i'm back in town next week

      You of all people should know that it is pretty easy to make a 18 or 24 volt motor work off of a 12 volt car battery.

        Well yes silly but that would raise the price considerably for them. But primarily I don't know if it would work still. The motor could be 1000 watts or something. If it's draining a 24v 6amp (guessing) lion in seconds, it is def a hungry biznatch.

          Thanks for the input guys. We will be updating the website this week and spell check :-).

          We will also be reviewing the technical information and everything to make sure it's clear and accurate. Please bear with us it's under development.

            Couldn't be any worse then a battery and related charging system. Plus then it would make it more useful to use.

              Some more tech to add.

              The FTSS functionality is similar to NOS, additional power at WOT. The #6445 pack conservative life cycle is 90% capacity after 5000 uses of 15 sec (1/4 mile runs). This is roughly equal to 417 bottles of nitrous at 3 minutes/ bottle. The lithium pack is constantly topped up by the on board charger so no 'refills' are required. After five thousand 1/4 mile runs the pack will still hold it's voltage and capacity to 90%. The #6830 pack doubles the above.

              Financial tech:
              The NOS'S cheaper initial system would cost $41,700 during that time in refills. It's $10/lb at the two places I found in Calgary. A bit over the top, but $100 /bottle refills add up quickly!

                we have or are about to launch our product. How many of you think you would need to see the website, etc, before you would buy, vs coming and taking it for a drive, etc?

                Anyway, we think we will have some ready for sale if any of you are interested.

                We haven't finalized pricing, but are working on the website.

                I was going to put things on facebook, what are your opinions on that? Anyway, if you could you go to the site and give us a like? I need 20 before we become a real entity on facebook.

                  Blast from the past, I have more of a current posting elsewhere, but yes, we are going to be releasing our product very soon. What are you driving etc.

                    Hey there, thanks for getting back to me. I actually was looking at some Electric Superchargers on ebay. I have a 2k VW JETTA 2.0L (MK4)
                    Had spoken to some one @ Tunedub who mentioned your (products). So, when will you have these available as I was about to buy one off ebay? And I take it you are in cowtown as well? Cheers
