We have heard of superchargers and turbochargers. We may soon be able to purchase drumchargers.
They are mechanically simpler, but have provided a good boost in power on the KTM Duke 390.
Better explanation at the link.

Looks interesting and works on exhaust pulse similar to the way a vacuum fuel pump works on intake pulse.

Uses a big diaphragm like a snare drum vibrating to force more air through the intake and is quite large. I do not believe the photo below is real though as the drum charger is almost hitting the fairing and would not allow the rear suspension to work like that:
