This has GOT to be a joke, right?

I got 2 on my impreza along with a turbonater. I get 40mpg and 400bhp

It's the secret the petrol companies want to keep a secret

If you look at a jet engine, it has some large fans in front of the air intake, called turbines, that spin to compress the incoming air, using just the velocity of the incoming air to turn the blades to enable air to be compressed into the jet engine before combustion takes place. If you compress the air into the engine you get more power output from the same amount of fuel due to the increased explosive force created. This is why a jet engine is far more efficient than am internal combustion engine found on all modern vehicles.
The fan at the front of a jet engine is indeed a fan, not a turbine. The turbine is the bit at the back of the engine which uses the hot air from the combustor to drive the fan. The fan doesn't spin on it's own and magically produce huge amounts of thrust!!
In essence, the product is the inlet half of a turbo, or maybe a supercharger with no drive belt - worse than useless and probably makes the engine far less efficient by putting a large blockage in the intake.
It amazes me that there are so many complete suckers in this world.
Hang on. No, nothing surprises me really.

Ive seen this advertised in a yank auto mag a few years ago,
If i recall, they had data to back it up,
I'm not back to work for a few weeks, so i cant get hold of the mag to give
the american name they use.
If i remember, it works on the same principle as a supercharger, it forces more air into the combustion
chamber, except its run by 12V as opposed to a belt
google's your friend

The ones that run on 12V are using a form of forced induction (aka supercharging)
if there just using ram air principles to swirl the air into the chambers, then it
aint going to achieve that much

Better combustion
Reduced Emissions by up to 65%
Reduced fuel usage by up to 30%
WORKS ON PETROL, DIESEL, METHANOL, LPG, HHO!
BURNS FUEL MORE EFFICIENTLY AND INCREASES ENGINE LIFE
MUCH QUICKER AND FIRMER GEAR CHANGES IN AUTOMATIC VEHICLES
Putting more air into the engine means it will need more fuel to actually make a difference. Does he not realise that is why turbo charged vehicles have lower MPG?
And how does a fan in a pipe make the gear changes in an automatic faster and firmer?

The blades on the front of a jet engine either for a normal axial flow or a bypass engine are physically driven by the engine's shaft which in turn is driven by the turbine at the hot end of the engine. If the blades are driven then they will compress the air they are sucking in.
If the blades are being driven by the air that the car engine is sucking in then they will be extracting energy from the incoming air and can't compress it while that is happening. I can only see it being an obstruction to the inlet air. It will make a noise of course but I cannot see how it can add any performance to the car engine. It might straighten up the flow of air but that is unlikely to make any significant difference to the engine's performance. Certainly cant compress it as a passive component.
Some might find the noise it makes exciting though!

ha ha ha ha i just sent him a message to see how many you can fit to n impreza and how much bhp i will gain along with http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/40bhp-Power-Ac...item2eae6e3165
ha ha ha check his other item and his feedback to see how many losers bought them

had a reply ha ha ha seems he is a scooby owner aswell ha ha aha
"I think two is about the max and you get very good
results when combined with the power accelrator
(That's the set-up on mine!)"
what a ****

Also known as daz
The thing is the venturi effect that these blades are meant to cause, should already happen with well designed intake ports.
Muppets lol, then again can you blame them as some mug will believe the bs they spout so who can blame them really.

A test was done on a forum recently,the out come was these fans can not produce enough cfm to get pressure increase,infact they are spun by incoming air so cause drag and turbulance.These units take up to 16 amps at 14 v to run,so the engine load via alternator out put will drop voltage so ecu injector cycle will also drop,the result is these units are another load of CRAP !!!!!
