	All types of compressor may be mated to and driven by either gas turbine or mechanical linkage. Dynamic compressors are most often matched with gas turbine drives due to their similar high-speed characteristics, while positive displacement pumps usually use one of the mechanical drives. However, all of the possible combinations have been tried with various levels of success.		All types of compressor may be mated to and driven by either gas turbine or mechanical linkage.

	In cars, the device is used to increase the "effective [[engine displacement\|displacement]]" and [[volumetric efficiency]] of an engine, and is often referred to as a '''blower'''. By pushing the air into the cylinders, it is as if the engine had larger valves and cylinders, resulting in a "larger" engine that weighs less.
