i have serious doubts, but then again if you could get it cheap enough whats the harm in trying it. all i can see it doing is leaning out your fuel mixture off throttle as it would be pushing more air through while its still spinning?

The text in the trademe ad is babble in some places so I have used bablefish to translate to a couple of different languages and back to see if I can improve it...

Enjoy

Appointment: F1- [z] power of plane surface (just the propeller) is the engineer where the whirlpool car of catapulte is invented. The propeller of plane surface of the whirlpool of catapulte of the sapwood of power of speed of the machine which maximumkracht that is created draws up the air of the powerful flow at the room of a higher speed and combustion. The air of the flow of the room of combustion of the burning mark of geatomiseerde where just the propeller of plane surface speed is higher and occurs is absorbed: Horse of increase and [syntiriseon] of power of gasoline. Why necessary power f1- [it possesses catapulte of z]? Inside the gasoline of combustion of combination of motorenlooppas gasoline and [aerizoyn]. Ideal combination they are 14.7 sections of the partial air of gasoline, (with as a sacrifice. ) As for one part of the gas which becomes in 14.7 sections of the air when being polluted with the machine, it causes faces of the enormous supply which can do that completely it evaporates to that. The quality which reaches the quantity and the fuel the air is is very mixed important. The circle of life of the machine can taking the machine which horsepower of the lake creates, many air the roll which is repaired it helps. [z] catapulte of F1-力 was invented, that capacity of the air which records to the machine which increases beforehand. Magnitude and the air of other speed, should draw up that two plans of speed travelling which is higher. This technology increases the air and speed of capacity of the machine

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

One would think smooth linear air flow would be better than spiralling turbulant air, anyway the engine is only ever going to pull in as much air as it needs, the spinning fan wil only go as fast as the air coming in, and when youre off throttle any inertia left in the fan pushing air wouldnt be used by the motor anyway.

More ricey BS crap I say. The weight gain alone would negate any positive effects on power.

Same sort of BS as the Turbonator (google it).

Even if you got it for $1, you would have wasted your money.
Even if it was free, it's not worth the time and effort to try it.

Enough said really.
