I am wondering to buy a cheap used Supercharger from Craigslist and drive it with a 2 hp electric motor as a high power vacuum pump. Vacuum pumps in this power range are normally quite expensive.
I am pretty sure this will work theoretically but I never had a supercharger (Roots Blower) in my hand and don't know what practical obstacles there are, e.g. How that thing is lubricated or what leakage to expect. I am looking to get maybe 75% vacuum (20-25").
Any opinion if that could work? Or just a stupid idea?
