It's a total gimic and waste of money. I would advise to avoid things like it.

Someone tried one out a while back, I'm pretty sure it was blue crush. General idea seemed it didn't do anything.

If the alternator/battery can't push a large stereo system, it will never push a fan fast enough or powerful enough to make any kind of boost to make up for the amount of drag it will put on the engine via the alternator.
