Default supercharger vs turbo?

In response to Maddog's post:

Actually there are lots of intercooled (and aftercooled) supercharger systems out there for cars.

I cant see how a Raptor motor would drive an actual belt driven supercharger... The engine only puts out power from one end, the tranny!
(unlike a conventional motor where power goes out both directions, tranny(rear) and timing belt/chain, and other belts(front).

Eaton is a popular supercharger manufacturer. (also known as Jackson racing superchargers, and seabring superchargers)

I still cant see how a raptor motor would power an Eaton supercharger.

And yes, superchargers require power to SPIN them. This is called parasitic losses. Turbo'ed motors do not suffer from this.
