It is a simple process, a belt driven air pump, the supercharger draws air in and compresses internally or in the manifold( above atmospheric pressure- boost) It make the engine injest more air than it could, normally aspirated( basicly force feeding it). More air and more fuel increases cylinder pressures, creating more power. An example: a 2.0l 4cyl. running 7psi intercooled/.5bar of boost, would take in 50-60% more air than it would normally and would produce 50% more power than before.
A supercharger increases the power emmited into the engine, therefore increasing bhp and speed

A supercharger forces more air into the combustion chamber which compresses the air and pressurizes it above atmospheric pressure. More air means more fuel can be added. More fuel means a bigger explosion and thus more horsepower. Superchargers are driven off the same engine they are adding more power to unlike a turbocharger which is driven by the exhaust.
