Electic motorized supercharger

Is this a common idea? Im wondering how it would fit over the water
pump.

These guys have been growing thier operation over the years and looks
like their doing ok, they custom make all the parts needed for mad max
replicas even functional switch operated supercharger! To bad the cars
are dissapearing.

Not a common idea, and nobody else is doing it.
But it does look cool in the movie

Essentially it's an electric clutch, like on an
A/C compressor. One of the big three (Buick?)
tried that back in the 60's. Obviously, that
didn't work out well.

Ummmm..... you don't expect that this supercharger shaped object really
works, do you?

At least until the batteries runs down.... which is why I suggest the
Ion battery version. They work far better than the hand crank model.

just put in peddles on the passenger side, it will give him something to do.

Also the "supercharger shaped object" does in fact add wind resistance,
which is very important to help slow down if going too fast.
