That looks completely retarded. "Bursts" of energy from seperate batteries in your car that need to be charged from the wall? How stupid is that? The "extra files" he has are from 2004... I see he's real current on his own product. 
This device is being marketed to people who don't know better. :flame suit on:
edit: oh, and there's this bit:
"It simply isn't possible for an alternator to produce enough current to power a real supercharger."
Right. Well. Kudos for thinking "outside the box," but the product is so ridiculous. Get a car that has affordable and worthwhile supercharging options already out there. No one wants to "plug in" their supercharger at night so they can show up ricers the next day

^^^Ummm, I'm not talking about the electric supercharger dude, I'm talking about the first update on that page. How did you miss it? I even put "belt driven" in my post.

^^^Oh snap man, I totally forgot! I ended up buying a Gemballa leather suede airbag wheel on ebay. Sorry man 
So back on topic, look at the belt driven turbo on the alternator.

ya if you plug in the porsche it only goes to the electrical one. I can see the mistake. On a side note, i don't see why you wouldn't tie in the 'extra batteries' to the car system like hydrolics. You wont bog the system cause there are other batteries to draw current but when not in use they will recharge.
okay i will go back and read the alternator thingy lol
