Old school underhood superchargers...anyone remember?

The only car that could beat my brother's '55 XK140MC was his buddies supercharged '57 Ford 312... now that story goes back 60 years...geez!
I had a T-bird 312 in my '57 Fairlane 500. was always curious about the supercharger that Ford and Studebaker used also. Matter of fact I still got the AFB carb mod page in my bookmarks. Supercharger Carb Modification.

Who could forget the TB-28, a micro turbine from Turbonique that affixed to the rear axle of a drag car for push button HP! Here is a cool vid of their insane products with a very special cameo appearance at 2:48.

They had self powered superchargers that took no engine power to run. I can see this today as a super-capacitor driven electric supercharger for instant power while recharging when not in use.
