Some college students in America experimented with a leaf blower hooked up to the air inlet on their cars and ran dyno tests on them with very surprising gains.

Obviously there isn't really an economy angle so unlikely anyone would take it up, but there have to be performance gains to be had by such an arrangement?

Interesting hybrid option must exist there surely? Have batteries that recharge off the engine and braking a la normal hybrids, which power effectively an electric turbo which fires air into the engine?
