Looney, did you actually look at the advert? or have i missed something? there nothing mentioned about an electric motor? Infact it doesn't mention anything about carbs, its quite vagues but
<i>The Turbonator™ is a non-moving vortex generator that goes inside your air intake hose, right after your air filter.</i>
suggests its just a couple of fins in a tube (exactly what the picture shows!)

It was, plus a groove to the outside to give a slight air leak at an angle. You can fool some of the people all of the time....
