I am a long time reader but first time poster. I have put a lot of thought into this forced induction concept. I want to know If Im completely nutters or if im using a modified version of something that exists that i dont know about or what. Its not a supercharger because its a free wheel its not a turbo because it doesnt deal with the exhaust at all it just spins based on the suction the engine puts on it. anyone want to give me a technical name for it?

I know the picture is crap and not quite to scale (slightly narrower branch) but it gets the point across. This was built operating under the assumption that stock engines can handle 6 lbs of pressure and their is no way (in my mind) that a CPU fan can produce that kind of pressure in an open loop circuit.Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

essentially i am trying to justify the significant increase in power from adding this system despite everything i have heard about them not working does it have anything to do with relocating my air temp sensor? right next to front grille/ radiator? anyone wanna take a stab at it. everyone says the system shouldnt work or wont give me any real gains but I can feel a significant increase all the way across the powerband. I start noticing a boost around 2000 rpm not as much boost at high Rpm's but no power loss. It seems to work more around how far I have depressed my throttle as opposed to my RPM's. Like I said just looking for someone to explain why its working.
