Yeah, that's basically what a nitrous oxide system does.

There are actually two similar devices that have already been created called superchargers and turbochargers which do the same thing, but it's constant pressure, and with less pressure.

No need for Caps Lock BTW.

His wouldnt generate enough pressure to be worth even .5psi in turbo terms. You cant just slap a hairdryer on your intake and have it work like forced induction....wait you can!

OP, good luck with your idea. Im sure using air in a sprite bottle will tremendously help increase horsepower....wow I dont even know where to start so I just wont

Finally something makes sense. Short answer, no. The air in a nitrous system is under pressure, its not something that a coca cola bottle can handle. Furthermore, you would have to run lines, a nozzle, etc.etc. You are better off just buying a ready off the shelf kit, they arent that expensive anymore, Ive seen them even in the 300 area brand new, and its proven to help. Just dont forget to upgrade all necessary components when you install, and the car tuned.

P.S. Its called Nitrous

Air density and air volume are different things. Air volume is the ammount, air density would be determined by mainly temperature. This is why turbo cars have intercoolers. The air coming in through the turbo gets very hot, goes through the intercooler and cools down again...thats why youll notice one side of an intercooler is always very hot, and one is rather cool. I cant even keep up with what ur saying...are you still on this "bottle" theory
