    You need something like 25 to 50 hp to drive a supercharger. Some guy actually took a eaton M62 and had 3 custom wound starters adapted to drive it. He was able to make some horsepower with it, 15-20 hp if I recall at lower RPM. That thing on ebay is probable .05 hp.

    That electric supercharger restricts air above around 3000 rpm and makes it slower

    I think it restricts it above 1000rpm.

    Here is a link to a electric supercharger that works.
