FWIW, the blower on that Interceptor in the Mad Max movies was not
functional. It was a shell for looks only.
Although that begs the question as far as what the driveability and
performance impacts would be with a disengageable supercharger. Wonder if
anybody has used an electromagnetic clutch to find out? I have a feeling that
a freewheeling Roots-type blower would be mighty disruptive to the intake
system, negating any advantages derived from the ability to disconnect it.
