2. Coffman engine starter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffman_engine_starter

   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.

3. Air-start system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-start_system

   Air impingement starting was not used for US military aircraft after the F-4B, A-5A [6] and F-5 as the pneumatic energy requirement was several times greater than when using an air turbine starter. The gas turbine compressor required to start a J79 with impingement starting was sufficient to start two J79 engines simultaneously in a B-58 when ...

4. Aircraft engine starting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_starting

   Cutaway view of an air-start motor of a General Electric J79 turbojet. With air-start systems, gas turbine engine compressor spools are rotated by the action of a large volume of compressed air acting directly on the compressor blades or driving the engine through a small, geared turbine motor. These motors can weigh up to 75% less than an ...

5. Pneumatic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_motor

   A pneumatic motor (air motor), or compressed-air engine, is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed-air energy to mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion. Linear motion can come from either a diaphragm or piston actuator, while rotary motion is ...

6. Motor soft starter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_soft_starter

   A motor soft starter is a device used with AC electrical motors to temporarily reduce the load and torque in the powertrain and electric current surge of the motor during start-up. This reduces the mechanical stress on the motor and shaft, as well as the electrodynamic stresses on the attached power cables and electrical distribution network ...
