I recently saw a comment on HN linking to a company that creates very neat animations of how various things work [1] and they happen to have done one on turbo vs superchargers [2] -- it's a pretty good way to see it.

Which highlights the other major difference between a turbocharger and supercharger:

Superchargers used in automotive applications are, typically but not always, Roots-type blowers.[1]
