lmao, if someone wants to try this for the hellofit on a dyno i have contacts to get the best leaf blowers on the market to borrow for the day. As i used to work at Stihl Shop Morayfield selling outdoor power equipment, and from that video i can tell that's the older Stihl BG72 BlowerVac, which had a considerably lower airspeed/throughput than the current range due to an impressive impellor design on the the newer BG65 and BG85 > i never thought the cu/ft min would be enough at high revs > thought it would choke it but anyway they have proven me wrong. Onloy prob is the air its sucking in isn't filtered though
but my sale pocketbook shows the BG65 (0.7kw, 27.2cc) has an airspeed of 280Km/h and a throughput of 730 cubic-meters/h and the BG85 (also 27.2cc, but 0.8kw thanks to bigger exhaust) has a little more go 295km/h and 780 cubic-meter/h.
BUT what you really want to hookup is a Backpack Blower, now that'll get you results! Stihl BR420 (56.6cc, 2.6kw) 363km/h airspeed and a whopping 1060 cubic-meter/h throughput.

this is all pretty much useless for everyday driving, just for fun fooling around on a dyno
, on that note i could hookup a remote trigger to rev the blowervac from inside the car
haha hookup two of them
if anyone watch's mythbusters, you would have seen jamie and adam make their own 1 man hover-crafts out of several petrol blowervac's, go mythbusters!
