My thought too....may be not enough cfm to buid boost
Think of it this way.... how much HP does it take to compress the air to make 5 psi... its gonna take ALOT more than a 15 amp motor

It's a boat bilge pump with some bling. Used to sell on eBay for $29.95, and they got banned.
No, it doesn't work. There are electric superchargers that work - they have huge motors and need 200 lbs. worth of batteries.

Absolutly not even close to an option......remember to build boost you have to beable to OVERFILL the cylinder with air.....that little fan wouldnt overfill N20MSTRs blow up doll...
Now thats some funny chit
I think if you hookd myb 3 or 4 of them up in series it might work

to move enough air for a big V8 engine, you'd have to have what...a 20? 25? hp electric motor? how much HP does a belt driven supercharger consume?
Whatever that number is, you'd need an electric motor of the same rating. then you'd need the electric source to feed it. don't try running it off your alternator, cause A) you'll fry it, and B) you're just adding that Hp drain right back to the crank, and you might as well use a belt driven or exhaust driven blower.
batteries? like said, 200 or more pounds of lead/acid to create the juice needed to run an electric motor that big. is the 100-ish hp gain from a blower enough to overcome all the added weight of the blower, plumbing, wiring, and batteries?
now, adding that little blower to a golf cart or brigs go-cart, sounds like a TON of fun!
