Supercharged Engine. A (also known as a blower) is an air compressor used to force air into the combustion chamber(s) of an internal combustion engine at pressures higher than would otherwise be the case. Any device which does this is a .
Cut-away view of an air foil bearing-supported turbocharger. A turbocharger, or colloquially turbo, is a turbine-driven forced induction device that increases an internal combustion engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber. This improvement over a naturally aspirated engine's power output is due to the fact that the compressor can force more airâand proportionately more fuelâinto the combustion chamber than atmospheric pressure alone. Turbochargers were originally known as turbosuperchargers when all ...
