yes, so genius that they should rename it a "supercharger"... j/k, i know it's not the same thing, it's not technically belt driven - but it does rob a little crank power to power the motor.

I think it's a great idea, a great solution to a problem that few will ever experience. but really a great way to provide massive gains in power and low-end, with no lag and stay pretty efficient. I don't know if I would call it genius, but I hope it doesn't create any reliability problems.
