I'm Jake O'Neal, creator of Animagraffs. And this is how superchargers vs. turbos work.
2
The basic function of both superchargers and turbos is to deliver more air to an engine’s internal combustion process. The main distinction between the two is this: superchargers are mechanically powered, often by connection to the engine crankshaft, while turbos are powered by engine exhaust gas.
3
Let's look at how each unit works, starting with a supercharger.
4
The supercharger type shown here sits on top of the air intake manifold.
5
A serpentine belt transfers crankshaft power to the supercharger pulley.
6
Pulley diameter and construction is an easily accessible way to quickly alter supercharger performance characteristics.
7
A gear drive system delivers incoming power to opposing rotors.
8
Outside air enters through the air filter and intake pipe.
9
Interlocking rotors force air through the supercharger.
10
The long fins or ridges that span the length of the rotor shaft are called lobes.
11
Air exits the supercharger through a specially shaped discharge port at the bottom of the housing.
12
Here are a few common supercharger types: Roots The roots type supercharger saw its first automobile application in 1900.
13
The term "blower" or "blown engine" originates from the roots supercharger’s basic function as an air blower, as opposed to other designs that compress air.
14
Twin screw Twin screw type superchargers feature complex rotors with intricately designed lobes that compress air as it moves through the unit.
15
This increased complexity results in better performance, but also higher manufacturing cost.
16
Centrifugal Centrifugal superchargers have much in common with the turbo design concept, though they are still mechanically driven.
17
They produce an exponential power curve and are often tuned to make full boost at engine redline.
18
Now let's look at how Turbochargers work. The turbo connects to the engine exhaust system.
19
In turbo setups, the exhaust manifold may be specially designed for turbo placement, and to handle increased heat and pressure. The turbo has two separate compartments, called the turbine section and the compressor section.
20
Exhaust flows through the turbine section as exhaust heat and pressure drive the turbine or exhaust wheel. A sealed shaft connects this exhaust wheel to the compressor wheel.
21
The compressor wheel pulls air in through the air filter and intake pipe.
22
Its specially shaped fins force air through an increasingly smaller chamber, building compression.
23
Air gets hot during intake and compression, so most turbo setups have an intercooler between the turbo and engine intake to get air back down to ambient temperatures.
24
Cooler air has greater density, serving the goal of forcing more air into the engine.
25
The intercooler works something like a radiator. Hot air passes through internal tubes as outside air rushes by for cooling. Here are some common turbo designs: Single turbo All exhaust flows through a single turbocharger.
26
Twin turbo A setup with two turbochargers. For example, on a 6 cylinder engine with one turbo for each cylinder bank.
27
Twin scroll turbo Exhaust exits the cylinder in a pulse, with a high pressure section followed by low pressure.
28
Twin scroll turbos separate cylinders into pairs so that exhaust pulse waves do not interfere with each other, and a continuous stream of maximum pressure exhaust reaches the turbine.
29
Now, let's compare superchargers and turbos in very general terms.
30
Again, superchargers are powered by mechanical energy; for example, by connection to an engine’s crankshaft, while turbos are powered by otherwise wasted heat energy from engine exhaust. Boost characteristics Roots and twin screw superchargers have "positive displacement", meaning that they move the same amount of air for each engine revolution, regardless of RPM. This also means that they can make boost immediately (even at low RPMs), and have a fairly linear power curve.
31
Turbo setups produce an exponential power curve. Since they are powered by exhaust, turbos take time to build turbine speed and pressure before producing usable boost.
32
This delay is called "turbo lag". Efficiency Superchargers take power to make power, and an average setup can require 40-60 horsepower to function. This doesn't mean that overall engine efficiency is always sacrificed as some setups can increase fuel economy when not driven aggressively.
33
Though turbos do increase back pressure on the engine, they derive power primarily from otherwise wasted exhaust heat as opposed to exhaust flow pressure. As such, they can be very efficient.
34
In conclusion, superchargers can be a less complex, less expensive way to increase engine performance. They are usually easier to tune and maintain.
35
Supercharges can be ideal in applications that require predictable boost at all RPMs.
36
Turbos might require more peripheral parts like oil and vacuum lines, an intercooler, custom exhaust manifolds and exhaust piping, and so on.
37
Turbos can require more skill to properly configure. However, a well tuned turbo system may be able to produce boost more efficiently and in greater quantity than a supercharger.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
