50 watts in=11,000watts out?

[Daniel David Ayd <Daniel.D.Ayd-1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Am I missing something?  Why does a 50 watt device have to necessarily
put out only 50 watts of power at the rear wheels minus a factor for
efficiency?  A fan blows oxygen into the engine which is the source of
the power the engine experiences, it doesn't connect to a sail on the
hood of the car putting its work back into the system where 50 w in
would equal ~50 w out.  An increase in manifold pressure nets a power
increase if the engine can expend that extra air.  Mark's claims of 3.5%
increase don't sound far fetched considering a turbo that puts
resistance in the exhaust is able to boost power 45%.  More closely
connected to the electric issue would be the supercharger...a direct
engine load results in tremendous power gains.

I don't know what kind of fan mark is using BUT if it is only 50 watts
it could certainly yield more than 50 watts at the rear wheels or else a
supercharger or maybe even a turbocharger would not work either because
yield is dependent on how much O2 is crammed into the combustion chamber
compared to stock(usually more than enough to offset the parasitic
device or they wouldn't put them on in the first place).  The
relationship in compression is therefore not linear input = x*output
(where x is some integer).  If I'm f-d in the head please straighten me
out...
