The roots supercharger has been around for a long time, how is the Terra Charger supercharger different?
The Terra Charger supercharger is essentially a Roots blower pump, with one substantial design wrinkle: Each rotor has been twisted 60 degrees to form a helix. The two counter rotating rotors have three lobes, which intermesh during operation. These twisted rotors, along with specially designed inlet and outlet port geometry, help to reduce pressure variations resulting in a smooth discharge of air and a low level of noise during operation. This arrangement also improves efficiency over traditional Roots superchargers. With helical rotors and an axial inlet the Terra Charger supercharger can spin up to 14,000rpm, thereby reducing package size.
