The supercharger, also known as a blower or supercompressor, appeared even before the invention of the 4-stroke engine, initially created to blow furnaces and boilers. However, some time later, they discovered its ability to increase engine power! Initially, the invention was called a blower, which means blower in English and its function is exactly that: to capture external air and forcefully induce it into the engine, which enriches the air/fuel mixture and increases mechanical power! Despite its benefits, this device did not achieve the same popularity as the turbocharger, but it also gained its space and equipped several vehicle engines throughout history! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The history and operation of the turbo: • THE ORIGIN OF THE TURBO AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
