They are the most perfect example of hype and rip-offs.

No. If anything they just block air and make noise.

LOL Those stupid litle fans would be lucky to generate like 0.01 PSI of boost!! There actually are REAL electric superchargers. I saw one on a car at a show one time, real motor driving a roots type blower. Gave you the option of shutting it off, but the motor drew a fair bit of current when it was running, but apparently it did work. (I'd still much rather adapt a T-Bird SC blower to work on our cars. That would be SICK.
