    Abstract: A supercharger system includes an impeller, a compressor housing, an input shaft, an input pulley assembly, and a freewheel clutch. The impeller is for acquiring air. The compressor housing surrounds at least a portion of the impeller so as to direct the acquired air toward an internal combustion engine. The input shaft is configured to rotate the impeller. The input pulley assembly is configured to drive the input shaft and interface with a serpentine belt that is associated with the power source. The input pulley is configured to rotate in a primary direction correlating with rotation of the serpentine belt in the primary direction. The freewheel clutch is configured to interface with an input shaft of the supercharger, wherein the freewheel clutch prevents rotation in a reverse direction that is opposite the primary direction.
