H2R Super Charger

Does any body know the propulsion method of the super charger? At 22,000rpm I doubt that it is chain or belt driven.
Perhaps gears, planetary, or fluid?

According to the technical data from Kawasaki on the design, "Kawasaki uses a step-up gear system in addition to a planetary gearset to drive the supercharger's impeller shaft. The step-up gear set is driven directly by the H2's crankshaft (via chain) and spins slightly higher than engine speed. The chain drive takes power from there to a planetary gear set that resides inside the supercharger's housing. This combined effect is to turn an engine speed of approximately 14,000 rpm into an impeller speed of 130,000 rpm. A planetary gear set is one way to provide a significant change in gearing within a small space."

This information is provided via Kawasaki technical publications.

I'm wishing for Varoom and not Kaboom!
