  2. Rope start - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_start

    Starting a Lazair II ultralight aircraft's JPX PUL 425 engine, equipped with a recoil starter. A rope start device housed in a Nose bullet of a Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet.. Rope start (also called ripcord [citation needed], pull start [citation needed], or rewind start [citation needed]) is a method of starting an internal combustion engine, usually on small machines, such as lawn mowers ...

  3. Trolley pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_pole

    Trolley poles are usually raised and lowered manually by a rope from the back of the vehicle. The rope feeds into a spring reel mechanism, called a "trolley catcher" or "trolley retriever". The trolley catcher contains a detent, like that in an automotive shoulder safety belt, which "catches" the rope to prevent the trolley pole from flying ...

  4. Mechanical advantage device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage_device

    In this situation the distance the lifter must pull the rope becomes twice the distance the weight travels, allowing the force applied to be halved. Note: if an additional pulley is used to change the direction of the rope, e.g. the person doing the work wants to stand on the ground instead of on a rafter, the mechanical advantage is not increased.

  5. Bendix drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bendix_drive

    A Bendix drive is a type of engagement mechanism used in starter motors of internal combustion engines.The device allows the pinion gear of the starter motor to engage or disengage the ring gear (which is attached to the flywheel or flexplate of the engine) automatically when the starter is powered or when the engine fires, respectively.

  6. Starter (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_(engine)

    An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.

  7. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    A starter solenoid is an electromagnet which is actuated to engage the starter motor of an internal combustion engine. It is normally attached directly to the starter motor which it controls. Its primary function is as the actuating coil of a contactor (a relay designed for large electric currents) which connects the battery to the starter ...

  8. Pullback motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullback_motor

    A pullback motor (also pull back, pull back and go or pull-back) is a simple clockwork motor used in toy cars. A patent for them was granted to Bertrand 'Fred' Francis in 1952 as a keyless clockwork motor. [1] [2] Pulling the car backward (hence the name) winds up an internal spiral spring; a flat spiral rather than a helical coil spring. When ...
