At this point, the supercharger powers an impeller – or small rotating wheel. The impeller draws air into a small compressor housing (volute) and centrifugal force sends the air into the diffuser. The result is air that is highly pressurized, but that travels at low speed. [8]
U.S. patent 4,563,997, Figure 1: Pressure wave supercharger. A pressure wave supercharger (also known as a wave rotor [1]) is a type of supercharger technology that harnesses the pressure waves produced by an internal combustion engine exhaust gas pulses to compress the intake air.
There are two main families of superchargers defined according to the method of gas transfer: positive displacement and dynamic superchargers. Positive displacement superchargers deliver an almost constant level of boost pressure increase at all engine speeds, while dynamic superchargers cause the boost pressure to rise exponentially with engine speed (above a certain threshold).

NOCO was founded as Nook & O'Neill in 1914. [1] Joseph Henry Nook Sr. was later inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame for the contributions he made to the automotive industry with The NOCO Company. [3] Their original catalog can still be found in various automotive museums and archives. [4]
An Eaton M62 Roots-type supercharger is visible at the front of this Ecotec LSJ engine in a 2006 Saturn Ion Red Line.. The Roots-type blower is simple and widely used. It can be more effective than alternative superchargers at developing positive intake manifold pressure (i.e., above atmospheric pressure) at low engine speeds, making it a popular choice for passenger automobile applications.
