Abstract
A supercharger for an internal combustion engine includes two compressors, each having a compressor wheel mounted on a common shaft, and a mechanical linkage for transmitting power from a running engine to the common shaft to provide a desired boost with less torque by using two smaller compressor wheels rather than a single larger compressor wheel.
