Paul - I think you were there when Butch came by and described an
engine he saw on display. It had what was touted as an electric
blower to flat rate at 10K. ( See Pix), It looks like a model
airplane electric ducted fan assembly, and was rated 20 amp
at 12 volts (about 1/3 hp). Butch felt that the engine looked
well made (and with good reason - it is a 3.5l Honda V6)
My best estimate says about 0.1 psi boost at that power,
not hardly flat rate by any measure - "let the dreams begin"

Doesn't look like the front engine mount would be rigid in space, only two
tubes.

Correct Bill. No lateral support.
