2. Engine stand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_stand

   Engine stand (red) holding a partially disassembled combustion engine. An engine stand is a tool commonly used to repair large heavy gasoline or diesel engines.It uses a heavy cantilevered support structure to hold the engine in midair so that the mechanic has access to any exposed surface of the engine.

3. 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.

4. Break-in (mechanical run-in) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in)

   The break-in can take place either in the vehicle or on an engine stand. Each engine has specific preparation needs of its own due to factors such as the many different types of engine models, the vehicles it belongs to, and conflicting expert instructions. For example, each engine should be lubricated and run on oil specified by its designers ...

5. 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 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, chainsaws, grass trimmers ...

6. Air-start system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-start_system

   A direct start system as used on a marine slow-speed diesel is required to have up to 12 starts on a non-reversing engine or 6 starts on a reversible, or geared, engine. When starting the engine, compressed air is admitted to whichever cylinder has a piston just over top dead center, forcing it downward. [2]

7. Aircraft engine starting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_starting

   Starting of a gas turbine engine requires rotation of the compressor to a speed that provides sufficient pressurised air to the combustion chambers. The starting system has to overcome inertia of the compressor and friction loads, the system remains in operation after combustion starts and is disengaged once the engine has reached self-idling ...

8. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

   The battery supplies electrical power for starting when the engine has a starting motor system, and supplies electrical power when the engine is off. The battery also supplies electrical power during rare run conditions where the alternator cannot maintain more than 13.8 volts (for a common 12 V automotive electrical system).

9. Coffman engine starter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffman_engine_starter

   The Coffman engine starter (also known as a "shotgun starter") was a starting system used on many piston engines in aircraft and armored vehicles of the 1930s and 1940s. It used a cordite cartridge to move a piston, which cranked the engine.
