ROOTS SUPERCHARGER
Constructional features: It consists of two meshing lobes that
are fitted on two parallel shafts. Those lobes resembles to a lobe
gear that are in continuous mesh. Both the lobes mesh in such a
manner that the air pockets between these lobes and the side walls
goes on decreasing as air moves from the fill side to the discharge
side. Thus the passing air gets squeezed.
trapped in the pockets between the lobes is carried between the fill
side and the discharge side & large quantities of air move into the
engine.

DRIVES USED IN SUPERCHARGERS
Drives are basically the equipments that are used to transfer power
from one shaft to another shaft. In a supercharger, drives are used
to transfer part of engine power to the supercharger
Mechanical:-
Gear drive.
Chain drive.
Axial turbine.
Radial turbine.
Other:-
Electric motor.

SUPERCHARGER
AN
EDGE OVER TURBOCHARGER
Superchargers do not suffer lag: - Superchargers have no lag
time because they are driven directly by the crankshaft, whereas
Turbochargers suffers lag because it takes a few moments before
the exhaust gases reach a velocity that is sufficient to drive the
impeller/turbine.
Since the superchargers are directly empowered from the engine,
so as the engine starts, the superchargers can be activated. But in
the case of turbochargers they take some time for the accumulation
of exhaust gases.
