A supercharger is an air compressor that increases the pressure or density of air supplied to an internal combustion engine. This gives each intake cycle of the engine more oxygen, letting it burn more fuel and do more work, thus increasing power. Power for the supercharger can be provided mechanically by means of a belt, gear, shaft, or chain con...

An air pump or blower in the intake system of an internal combustion engine. Its purpose is to increase the air-charge weight and therefore the power output from an engine of a given size. In an aircraft engine, the supercharger counteracts the power loss that results from the decrease of atmospheric pressure with increase of altitude. Various type...

Serves the same function as a turbocharger but avoids lag time because it runs off an engine-driven pump. Both turbochargers and superchargers are used to produce more power without increasing engine displacement, but neither are particularly fuel efficient and both can require costly maintenance as vehicles age. A standard piece of equipment of Ho...
