Default Electric Superchargers

I saw some posts inquiring if there is such a thing as an Electric supercharger. I know this thing exists and is suitable for smaller cars.
Some of the Cavalier, Honda guys I've talked to made mention of such a device.

I am including a link for anyone questioning whether such a device does exist:

Don't waste your time. A 22K rpm electric blower of that size can not match the intake req. of a nice big V8. That swhy these are mostly built for 4bangers. There were threads about this in the past. I even went as far as to contact one of the menufacturers of the better designs (2 work together in tandem), and they didn't stand behind any claims for HP increase. You'll get better HP and around the same power loss if you go with pulleys.. :jester
