Centrifugal-type supercharger

A centrifugal supercharger is a specialized type of supercharger that makes use of centrifugal force in order to increase intake pressures and power. An increase in combustion intake air pressure allows the engine to burn more fuel, which results in an increased power output. Centrifugal superchargers are generally attached to the front of the engine via a belt-drive or gear-drive from the engine's crankshaft.
