Actually as someone who lost his job twice and has bad pay, I too, thought of it, and here's my analytical data (I got it alll figured out, let's do this together!):
For one thing, you'd need an inverter for an electric one, and even those that supply enough wattage (most leafblowers start at about 2000 watts) to run your leafblower costs about $300 and I haven't seen one larger than 400 watts in stores, and requires a direct connection to the car battery and adequate cooling. However, if you don't feel like ordering it, I heard that you can also wire them in parallel, where you get 7-8 inverters and clamp all of them together, gaining 2800-3200 watts. However, even the smallest of inverters generate heat, but that can be solved by splitting the coolant line, putting it over its heat dissipator and VOILA! Water cooled!
Maybe another idea is to put a generator in your trunk, but it needs both ventilation AND cooling; but hey, it makes your car have the much sought-after MR look like the Toyota MRII Spyders, Acura NSX, and even Lambos have; I haven't seen an everyday car with an MR engine, so that trend can be started? How? By cutting vents into the side of your trunk! Just adding the ventilation ALONE adds 45 hp! or if you're still thinking of looking cool but keeping a budget, take to the sides with a .44 Magnum to have that "thugged out gangsta" look! Be careful not 'ta bust caps in a nucca's gas tank n stuff, ya heard?
Or better yet, maybe even a gas blower might do the trick. OH that reminds me of the gas for the generator too... You can split the fuel pump and have it go into the engine, but what if you got a 2-stroke engine? Easy, pour motor oil into your gas tank, and with the typical 18.2 gallon tank and most commercial generators running a 40:1 ratio, add 2 quarts of motor oil before you fuel up, or 17.75 gallons of gas to 0.45 gallons of oil to be specific. Even if you don't go through with the supercharger,Kaleco Parts recommends adding motorl oil to even 4-stroke engines to combat wear and tear, and even helps prevent cylinder reversion so that you might not have to get your intake narp replaced as often.
Hope this helps!
