There is some truth to the philosophy. Think of a sink full of water. If you stir the water to make a cyclone it drains faster. That is the concept. the fan spins as air is pulled through it, creating a cyclone to the intake. This would "in theroy and physics" increase the air flow.
For $20 buck at Autozone, I'd try it. Not gonna spend money on shipping for it. Also, they are only 2.5" inlet...not compatible with the 4" Homebrew CAI.

"..That fan will likely interfere with the air flow"
I think that one statement holds alot of truth here. No matter how many RPM's it does its still a big piece of plastic right in the middle of the same system were paying money ( think CAI ) to stream line.

this is similar idea to the old poweraid spacer that had the helical design cut into it saying that it mixed with the fuel and atomized it better. Too bad we are multiport injection and this type of shyt don't work. Wonder if your throttle body will like it when that dumb fan comes off and jams itself in there too lol.

Stirring a sink full of water WILL NOT make it drain faster. The "drain speed" is determined by the depth of the water and the diameter of the drain (assuming it isn't clogged). In other words, it's gravity driven with maybe a tiny push by air pressure. Spinning the air in the intake won't make it travel faster either. That fan will likely interfere with the air flow, especially when it quits in a month.
No, you're right things only tavel at the speed gravity allows...That's why there is never water in my toliet. Toliet water spins for a reason. This same concept will help a sink drain faster. In fact if your plumbing is set up right gravity will create the cyclone on it's own.
I will agree that a fan in the middle isn't the most optimal option. The vortex fans from Dyson...that version in your CAI would really help.

Yes, the toilet water swirls because of the way the jets are installed to make it swirl...get a bucket of water and pour it in the toilet, it will not swirl, but will "flush" and get rid of the extra water poured in as well as just about all of the water that was there prior to the bucket.

This theory works somewhat under a wet throttlebody such as a GM TBI. It helps atomize the fuel better by swirling the mixture around. Since there is nothing but air in our intakes until just before the head where the injector sits, it is absolutely useless on a modern EFI engine. Must the same non-benefit from the Tornado and/or Turninator as seen on tv.
