ABSTRACT:
A supercharger for a motor vehicle internal combustion engine, the engine having an air intake, a crankshaft, a rotating engine accessory and shaft, the supercharger being driven by the rotating engine accessory shaft, the supercharger consisting of a rotating turbine which receives atmospheric air and provides compressed air to the engine's air intake. The rotating turbine is connected to the rotating engine accessory shaft for rotational movement. In a preferred implementation, the rotating engine accessory is the alternator. A number of gears between the alternator shaft and the turbine increases the speed of the turbine relative to the alternator shaft. The apparatus may include a two-speed clutch mounted on the engine's crankshaft to provide two speeds for the alternator shaft.
