    Only known successful use is separating suckers from money. Phineas T.Barnum was right.

    I don't think it is a hiclone.
    This one has even more unlikely claims.
    Hiclones only claim about 20% increase in power (I think)
    This one claims 30%
    Even better it claims to spin at 60,000 revs with zero friction.

    I'm sure it does exactly the same thing as a hiclone though, ie it sits there doing nothing having taken your money.

    I do not know why there is "browser warning". Its an Autospeed article.
    Just Google "electric supercharger" and there are many many references.
    Google is your friend.
