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.

本课的词汇与口语要点
这节 B2 级别的口语课以视频“How Superchargers vs. Turbos Work”为素材。 视频中反复出现的词有：turbo, supercharger, exhaust, engine, pressure。 这段视频共有 37 个句子、799 个单词可供跟读。 讲话部分时长为 6:41。 说话人语速平稳，每分钟约 120 个词，很适合跟读。 只有 65% 的单词属于英语最常用的 3,000 词，词汇难度较高。

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
