Abstract
A device for air supply of a fuel cell operated with hydrogen, via a compressor of an exhaust gas turbocharger. The compressor is drive-effectively connected to a turbine of the turbocharger that can be driven by an exhaust gas flow of the fuel cell via a shaft and the turbocharger, is drive-effectively connected to a motor via the shaft. The mounting of the shaft of the turbocharger is formed by a gas or air-lubricated mounting.
