EDIT: some of the commentators are calling this a "gas box", and some say it has a spring inside.

Video shows boost "bottle" that is some kind of rubber, telescoping tube.
Wierd, it looks to be blowing out/increasing in size as the engine revs.
re: supercharger hahaaha. Some people are using Ford F150 smog pumps on 5hp Briggs 4stroke engines and apparently it works if done well, till you over-rev it and blow the gasket.
I wouldn't even bother trying to do something like that to a 2hp china bike motor.
The boost bottle thing is worth fooling around with once though. I figure I could recoup my 15 bucks easily by selling it to someone else who wants to play with it, or just miss out on one night out at Chilis to find out if it worked or not. hahhaaha.
This video shows an experiment with a boost bottle on a motobecane moped. The film maker says he inflated balloon inside the bottle before closing the lid, then attached it to the running line.
