To make it clear for everyone, the super charger is the thing that goes SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII while the turbo goes SUUUUUUU STUUTUTUTU SUUUUUUU STUUUTUTU
and you've got half of a jet engine explained, now just get rid of the motor, put a tube connecting each, put a sparkplug in the middle to start ignition and you have a single stage jet engine.
I'm a mechanic who spent years working in a performance shop, and so I'm already quite familiar with how both of these systems work. But I clicked anyway because I enjoy observing your work. Animagraffs = the best visual education tool I've ever seen.
It's worth noting that designs that use both supercharger and turbocharger in the same engine exist, they are called twinchargers but they are rarely used because they are very complex.
BLOW OFF VALVE! small detail but iconic. The pissing sounds everybody love. Though has nothing to do with the performance directly, it has everything to do with how you feel behind the wheel of a turbo charged cars.
Great video as always. Small correction from a centrifugal compressor engineer - compression in a centrifugal compressor does not occur due to the changing cross section in the spiral casing (3:25). Rather, compression is caused by the impeller "slinging" the air to the outside of the spiral casing. This rapid increase in kinetic energy is then converted to an increase in pressure as the air slows down through the gradual increase in area of the spiral casing (or diffuser). Keep up the great work!
Ohhh is that why the impeller blades have so much clearance from its casing? So the outer air can move slower than the impeller itself, allowing the impeller to _squash_ more air into the same space before it leaves the turbo.
@@Leptons_ I think you have the right idea. Another name for the casing is the "collector," named thusly because it continuously gathers the fluid being thrown out of the impeller. The cross section of the collector gradually increases as the air moves towards the outlet of the casing, allowing the air to bunch up and convert its high velocity into pressure (and heat).
Another small correction / point: turbo / superchargers don't just allow for More fuel to be burned, thus increasing power density, but they also increase thermal efficiency. So you get more power per unit of fuel. That's the reason modern aircraft engines go to higher and higher compression ratios.
recommend buying someone else's project and building off of that as it can be a mild nightmare with a steep learning curve and after a year of fine tuning some might say the experience is worth it.
Good content! Excellent animations with plenty of interesting information and professional sounding voiceovers! The subtle background soundtrack adds depth. You’re never going to run out of subject material. Look forward to the next one 👍🏻!
If I recall, WW2 aircraft radial engines had a super charger and turbo installed. This set up had an advantage for extra HP and speed when flying higher altitudes. Great video 👍
Very few WW2 aircraft had turbo superchargers. Turbo supercharger setups are bulkier than mechanical superchargers setups making them hard to fit within an airframe. "Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles" has a number of videos talking about this in detail. Most aircraft used multistage/multi gear ratio centrifugal mechanical superchargers.
@@steveskouson9620 Mustang P-51 D Rolls Royce Merlin 60 Series engine came with a 2 stage mechanical supercharger That's why that aircraft was the bogeyman of the skies during WW2.

Communicating technical info in a readily digestible format is challenging at the best of times, but the time & effort invested into these videos must be huge... please know that it doesn't go unnoticed. Bravo Jake & Wesley 👏
That was an incredibly well done and well made a video, to be honest I never really understood exactly how a supercharger worked. I don’t know that you could have made it any clearer, thank you for your work!
Car #1: 496 HP blown V8 stock. Car #2: 442 HP twin turbo V8 stock. Same manufacturer. I owned both at the same time for 7 years and must say that the Supercharger experience is superior in every way except fuel economy and emissions… which is why you can’t buy them now. The wide “area under the curve” means that at every RPM, the SC can make 100-250 more HP instantly, the exact second you floor it. No boost lag, no drop in power between shifts. I don’t care about drag strips, but that instant 250 HP advantage makes a world of difference when you need it.
Fantastic information in this series about car mechanics! Please, and I’m confident i’m saying this on behalf of every man that’s ever seen a car, PLEASE continue this incredible work as its 100% super valuable. The work you put in creating this content is extremely appreciated!

Thanks man, seriously, thank you!
I know for a fact, James May will be impressed by your work and knowledge in automotive. Let along the beautifully design animation. Btw, imagine if you were a professor in some university, your class will always have students wanting to take your class ... repeatedly.
Excellent animations, and a great introduction to forced induction systems for automotive applications. I'd like to offer some constructive feedback regarding some of the finer technical details: * Centrifugal compressors (including turbocompressors) do not build pressure due to the change in outlet cross section shrinking (it actually grows in cross sectional area), but rather because the kinetic energy (linear velocity) imparted into the air by the compressor vanes is converted into potential energy (pressure) when air molecules slow down as they are flung out of the exducer and into the mass of air ahead of them in the pressurized section of the intake tract. This mass of slow-moving air exists because the engine is an inefficient air pump that cannot ingest air as quickly as the centrifugal compressor can move it. * All forced induction compressors generate heat due to compression, and many supercharged applications use intercooling to mitigate this heating. In both turbocharged and supercharged applications, air to water intercooling is becoming more common for its increased efficiency and improved packaging. Superchargers may omit intercooling because they generate minimal pressure (5-10psig is common, vs 20-30psig in modern turbo applications) and thus heat increase, or because the reduced performance and efficiency is acceptable in trade for reduced complexity. For similar reasons, older turbocharged designs also often omitted intercooling. Evaporative cooling (eg water, methanol, or additional fuel injection) may also be used in either setup to improve charge density. * You correctly note that turbochargers are powered by waste heat. Expanding on this (pun intended) to explain how engine exhaust continues to expand after the combustion process is complete may be helpful to new learners who aren't familiar with this concept. All in all, a well-constructed video that is easy to follow. Good work Jake!
purchased a twin(scroll) turbo bmw and wanted to know how that differs from a regular twin turbo. definitely not disappointed by this video, good stuff.
How does he pack so much content into 7 minutes?, yet it is not rushed. Smooth pace. Even has the chapters specified in the timeline! So easy for a person who wants to watch a particular chapter 5 times. This guy can make traditional schools obsolete.
Great videos! I study as a vehicle engineer and I have learned a lot from these videos, they are very useful and well animated. It would be great to have a video about Planetary Gearset Automatic Transmissions😁
at 2:06 is that not wrong because the small gear is half the size of the large one and they are connected to each lobe? That would not function it would bind up because the slower lobe would rotate half that of the one with the smaller gear? They should be the same size?
Great video. One hint: you missed bi-turbo, a combination of two diffrent sized turbos (one small and one big), they prevent in more or less way the "turbo-lag" (the small turbo performs best for low rpm, both combined operation for middle rpm and the big one is delivering supercharging at high rpm).
I love this video and all the others I’ve seen from your channel so far. Just a quick question, at around 2:07 the twin screw design appears to have a gear reduction from the input to the other shaft, but they seem to be rotating at the same speed. Genuinely curious is this right?
Gorgeously presented. You (or whomever made this animation) should create a lecture series for mechanics. I would pay good money for that training. And many others would as well. A fuller understanding for visual learners would be an indispensable asset. Thanks for sharing this.
Excellent informative video . Ive recently had a supercharged hayabusa drag bike (350 horsepower) & a turbo hayabusa drag bike (450 horsepower) & gone back to a normally aspirated big block motor for the simplicity & reliability. Great fun , & quick on a bike but enormous maintenance & short engine life . Add 1 sub from England 🇬🇧
Excellent video and you broke it down and explain each different type of supercharger and turbo and the pros and some cons. One more con to the turbo side is oftentimes you have to change your oil much sooner because the turbo uses oil to cool itself down but is extremely hot so you often cook the oil much more quickly than a regular engine would. Me personally I like the superchargers👍
More compressed air forced into the engine --> more oxygen in the engine --> able to burn more fuel in the engine more quickly --> more power created/transferred to the engine
Finally! A video demonstrating supercharger types that makes a distinction between Twin Screw, a.k.a Lysholm compressors, and Roots blowers. They look similar and do the same thing, but they do it differently, and that difference matters. Roots blowers use two identical rotors to move around the outer supercharger case and out the discharge port into the intake manifold. Because the supercharger is "blowing" more air into the engine than the engine can consume, it compresses the air generating boost. Twin screw superchargers use two distinct "male" and "female" rotors with different numbers of lobes on each rotor. For example, the male rotor will have 3 lobes whereas the female rotor will have 5. These lobes intermesh very tightly compressing the air between them. In this way, a twin screw is a true "air compressor" where as a Roots blower is not. At higher boost levels, Twin Screw superchargers are known to be a bit more efficient, i.e. generating less heat of compression, compared to their Roots counterparts. With that said, both types work very well for generating power and it's largely up to personal preference on which is "better". It's also important to note that both Roots and Twin Screws belong to a category of superchargers called "Positive Displacement", a.k.a. "PD blower". They are called as such because they have their own internal volume and deliver a known quantity of air for every full revolution of the rotors. For example, a 3.0L positive displacement supercharger moves 3.0L of air every full revolution. Because they are driven off the crankshaft, the total volume of air delivered is always directly proportional to engine speed. Both types of PD blowers are known for delivering full boost near instantly upon wide open throttle (WOT). This give engines equipped with them very broad and flat torque curves correlating to very linear power bands. Centrifugal superchargers, on the other hand, are basically "belt-driven turbos". However, the power curves they deliver aren't exponential. Centrifugal superchargers build boost in direct proportion to engine rpm. The more rpm you make, the more boost you make. The more boost you make, the more power you make. But this boost build up is linear because the supercharger's compressor speed increase is directly proportional to engine speed. This is in contrast to a PD blower which makes the same boost at all engine rpm (assuming WOT). Engines equipped with centrifugal superchargers make increasingly more power with more rpm, thus they are very good for situations where the engine will spend most of its time high in the rpm range.
Thanks for informing..3d videos helps a lot easier and faster and highly efficient way to learn these complex terms.... Once again THANK YOU for your hard work..

@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n So, as I see it: After blowing up, fuel in cylinder creating a gas, which is high-pressured. It comes outside of ur car when it’s not turbo, just civil car. But with turbo, this high pressured fast gas goes through the turbo and makes it spin like hell when passing it and then goes out of ur car like usually, but now u have a spinning turbine
I wonder if you can put a dry shot of nitrous prior to the compression chamber on both to cool the air and make it easier to compress and not get as hot.

Finally! A video demonstrating supercharger types that makes a distinction between Twin Screw, a.k.a Lysholm compressors, and Roots blowers. They look similar and do the same thing, but they do it differently, and that difference matters. Roots blowers use two identical rotors to move around the outer supercharger case and out the discharge port into the intake manifold. Because the supercharger is "blowing" more air into the engine than the engine can consume, it compresses the air generating boost. Twin screw superchargers use two distinct "male" and "female" rotors with different numbers of lobes on each rotor. For example, the male rotor will have 3 lobes whereas the female rotor will have 5. These lobes intermesh very tightly compressing the air between them. In this way, a twin screw is a true "air compressor" where as a Roots blower is not. At higher boost levels, Twin Screw superchargers are known to be a bit more efficient, i.e. generating less heat of compression, compared to their Roots counterparts. With that said, both types work very well for generating power and it's largely up to personal preference on which is "better".
It's also important to note that both Roots and Twin Screws belong to a category of superchargers called "Positive Displacement", a.k.a. "PD blower". They are called as such because they have their own internal volume and deliver a known quantity of air for every full revolution of the rotors. For example, a 3.0L positive displacement supercharger moves 3.0L of air every full revolution.

Centrifugal superchargers, on the other hand, are basically "belt-driven turbos". However, the power curves they deliver aren't exponential. Centrifugal superchargers build boost in direct proportion to engine rpm. The more rpm you make, the more boost you make. The more boost you make, the more power you make. But this boost build up is linear because the supercharger's compressor speed increase is directly proportional to engine speed. This is in contrast to a PD blower which makes the same boost at all engine rpm (assuming WOT). Engines equipped with centrifugal superchargers make increasingly more power with more rpm, thus they are very good for situations where the engine will spend most of its time high in the rpm range.
This was so well, done it's scary. Please do more!
Thanks for informing..3d videos helps a lot easier and faster and highly efficient way to learn these complex terms....
Once again THANK YOU for your hard work..
I don’t know you but I love you. Just the video that I was looking for
Amazing animation, narration and explanation. Plus you have a beautiful voice. Namaste x
You just keep impressing me every time a new video comes. Wow! Thank you. Good job!
Clear and pleasant to follow visualization, but what really sets your channel apart is the script and narration. Much better than other channels of this kind!
It’s funny how someone like me already knew all this but wanted to watch the video anyways because your videos are absolutely incredible! Such detail. 👍👍🤙👍
this is actually so fun to learn and easy to understand
Superb. I know understand both on a detailed level, though I had the general concept before. Appreciated!
Amazing educational video, thank you!
I stumbled on to this channel by accident which was a great accident. I have been watching your channel every since. It's very educational and I'm learning how something that I never gave a second thought to has became a very interesting story. Keep up with all that you do you have a great channel. James
I had huge misunderstanding before but I fully understood it thanks man keep up
5:55 So heat and not flow pressure drive a turbo? How does heat drive a turbine?
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n So, as I see it:
After blowing up, fuel in cylinder creating a gas, which is high-pressured. It comes outside of ur car when it’s not turbo, just civil car. But with turbo, this high pressured fast gas goes through the turbo and makes it spin like hell when passing it and then goes out of ur car like usually, but now u have a spinning turbine
@@andreymatvienko541 yeah, high pressure fast gas. They claim the heat makes it spin, not the pressure. Probably a mouth typo.
I wonder if you can put a dry shot of nitrous prior to the compression chamber on both to cool the air and make it easier to compress and not get as hot.
Amazing explanation. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such simple and in depth explanation. I really appreciate you and wish you all the success.
