An electric starter with sufficient power to turn a large diesel engine would itself be so large as to be impractical so there is a need for an alternative system. An air start system has three main components along with various safety components, namely the air start injector, the distributor and the air receivers.

Wanderlodge is a retired series of recreational vehicles built by American bus manufacturer Blue Bird Body Company (now Blue Bird Corporation).Introduced as the Blue Bird Transit Home in 1963, the Wanderlodge was a derivative of the Blue Bird All American school bus for over year; two further generations were produced, adapting motorcoach body and chassis design.
An air start unit (ASU, also known as a "start cart") is a device used to start an aircraft's engines when it is not equipped with an on-board APU or the APU is not operational. [5] There are three primary types of these devices that exist currently: a stored air cart, a gas turbine based unit, and a diesel engine driven screw compressor unit.
An interesting feature of all three German jet engine designs that saw production of any kind before May 1945: the German BMW 003, Junkers Jumo 004 and Heinkel HeS 011 axial-flow turbojet engine designs was the starter system, which consisted of a Riedel 10 hp (7.5 kW) flat twin two-stroke air-cooled engine hidden in the intake, and essentially ...
Klimov TV3-117 turboshaft engine. The accessory drive is the large casting on the top. The accessory drive is a gearbox that forms part of a gas turbine engine. [1] Although not part of the engine's core, it drives the accessories – such as generators, pumps for fuel and lubrication oil, air compressors, hydraulic pumps and engine starters – that are otherwise essential for the operation ...
Starter ring gear attached to a flywheel. In cars with a manual transmission, the starter ring gear is fitted to the outer diameter of the flywheel.The ring gear is usually fixed to the flywheel through use of an interference fit, [2] which is achieved by heating the ring gear and so that thermal expansion allows it to be placed around the flywheel.
Air tanks can also be recharged from an external source in an emergency, such as a hand pump or a portable air compressor. The Coffman starter was the most common brand of cartridge starters during the mid-1930s, and the name was used as a generic description. Advances in electrical technology have made shotgun starters obsolete for most uses.
