The Home made blower

right outside the office yesterday I noticed this, guy has rigged it up like some sort of blower, it is an electric driven motor which simply forces air into the engine, not bad for a laugh I thought. Cant imagine something like this strapped to the roof on an AU XR8 though:crazy1:

hey, you're gonna laugh, but i've been thinking about that!
it wouldn't be very expensive, plus you'd have SOME benefit from it! there's still no substitue for a blower though...
