A new design and support by an electric motor has solved many of the former problems. Image: Antrova AG - The Comprex supercharger, like the turbocharger, is a Swiss invention. The Comprex uses pressure waves in direct contact of the exhaust gas with fresh air for supercharging, while a turbocharger couples two flow machines (a turbine and a compressor).
