One for Professor Pete, unusual Supercharger

Ooh.. Thanks Stuart, never seen or read about that supercharger, despite most s/c books being from USA.  It will give a very peaky delivery with the rpm of that scroll compressor, very much like a turbo. It has to be kept spinning fast to get boost. The gears dont seem to allow the motor to drive the scroll faster than the belt....maybe the belt slips when the motor is active. That might work for drag racing starts. Or start in the singular as the scroll bearing doesnt look too robust for 40,000 rpm.
Fascinating.

Peter
