superchargers
Forced air compressors
Superchargers are devices that force extra air into an engine, increasing power output beyond what the engine would produce naturally.
The term applies primarily to belt-driven compressors in automotive engines, distinguished from turbochargers, which are exhaust-driven.
Figuratively, anything that dramatically boosts performance or intensity: Coffee is my morning supercharger.
