Supercharger
The key difference
between a turbocharger
and a supercharger is its
power supply. Something
has to supply the power
to run the air compressor.
In a supercharger, there is
a belt that connects
directly to the engine. It
gets its power the same
way that the water pump
or alternator does.
Types of superchargers
Roots type
Twin screw type
Centrifugal type
Hybrid engines
A hybrid propulsion system
uses a petrol or diesel engine
with an electric motor in some
combination.
One variation is to have the
wheels driven only by the
electric motor or motors,
current coming from batteries.
The petrol engine drives a
generator to charge the
batteries; it can be turned on
and off as needed.
Other variation is to have a
relatively small petrol engine
drive the wheels through a
mechanical transmission. An
electric motor provides
assistance when high power is
needed - overtaking and
climbing hills.
Advantages
Lower emissions and better
mileage.
Braking are configured to capture
kinetic energy thus Batteries need
not be charged by an external
source.
Reduce the dependency on fossil
fuels which directely affects fuel
prices.
Rotating Liner
It is developed to reduce

engine friction and
increase fuel economy in
Heavy Duty Engines. The
cylinder liner rotates and
a unique hydrodynamic
face seal replaces the
conventional head
gasket. Thus over

magnitude of sliding

Advantages
Improve efficiency and
reduce fuel consumption.
Prolong engine life.
Conclusion
Despite the green hype,
internal-combustion engines
with its latest and advanced
technology will keep powering
vehicles for the foreseeable
future.
