some of the cheap ones are a joke I think. but in principle its possible alright, but you need to be drawing 60amps not 30amps like the one in the advert above..
plus, the energy comes from somewhere, so your fuel consumption will take a hit or your battery will discharge.

Typical ebay tat!

All marketing and absolutely NO performance gain (in fact probably a loss of power).

Agreed - I'd say if you plan on using one of these you'd need to take into account that they become an obstruction in your air supply at relatively low speeds.. if you really want to RAM air into the engine you need something that provides more pressure that you can achieve through normal driving.
