Name the forced induction device that is mechanically driven by a belt from the engine's crankshaft.
Answer Supercharger
The first supercharged engine was constructed in 1878 and was used in airplane engines in the 1910s and automobile engines in the 1920s. Supercharging was often employed to compensate for aircraft piston engines' reduced air density at high altitudes. However, in the 21st century, manufacturers have turned to turbochargers to cut fuel consumption and boost power outputs.
