Has anyone ever considered an electric supercharger?  Apart from avoiding
pulley alignment problems and space restrictions around the engine, it
could be switched on and off from the driver's seat and, with appropriate
controls, the boost could even be varied progressively.

Tell me if it has already been done or why it would not work and I will go
back to the corner.
