How can this work? What about the extra fuel needed? Are the sensors able to read that all of the sudden there is more air coming in and adjust the fuel to compensate? And BTW just because people are bidding on it doesn't mean it is legit. People buy those Tornado thingies... Maybe I'm missing something. Seems like an interesting idea if it works.
