I just cannot see how this could work. I can't see how the blower could add more horsepower than the leaf blower makes, and that isn't a 18 HP leaf blower.

I mean, you cannot create energy, thats one of the first things they teach ya in gradeschool science.

Are you serious, i hope your kidding.
is that how you think horsepower is made and transfered.
i bet the leaf blower is running on gas too

The gains you seen in the video probably didnt even come from the leaf blower. It probably come from the N2O being shot directly into the intake. Use your brains, people.

Same reason how a KB blower makes 300+ hp but only consumes 100 hp or so.

The extra energy comes from the gasoline that the engine is burning, not the blower. The blower consumes mechanical energy and converts it into pressure to aid the actual engine that's using it.

Combustion is a three step process. Air (which is coming from the blower), Gas, and spark. If not for the blower pushing in the extra air, then the gas would be useless and the engine would just get flooded.

They ran each one with only the leafblower on each vehicle first with gains in HP. The second run is the only time they used the gas on each vehicle.
