Is his description of the charger acurate in terms of Twin Screw versus Roots charger design?

Roots compressor consists of two meshing 'lobes' similar to how an oil pump works, where as the Lysholm consists of two meshing Archimedes screws

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

This shows how the twin screw blower works:



EDIT: You need to select Products then Showroom for a detailed description.

Due to the fact that the air is compressed within the blower, it is supposed to be more efficient, but if you look at the performance of the 1200 AX, it is only 64% adiabatic effienct at max, so not much better than an Eaton M45.

EDIT: Actually less efficient at peak but better at higher pressure ratios.
