2. 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.

3. Small engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_engine

   The engines are small in both physical dimensions and power output, relative to larger automobile engines.Power outputs are typically less than 11 kW (15 hp). The smallest of all are used in handheld garden machinery, such as string trimmers and chainsaws, which have a displacement as small as 24 cc (1.5 cu in). [2]

4. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   Diesel generator on an oil tanker. The packaged combination of a diesel engine, a generator, and various auxiliary devices (such as a base, canopy, sound attenuation, control systems, circuit breakers, jacket water heaters, and starting system) is referred to as a "generating set" or a "Genset" in short.

5. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

   The starter motor is a series, compound, or permanent magnet type electric motor with a solenoid and solenoid operated switch mounted on it. When low- current power from the starting battery is applied to the starter solenoid, usually through a key -operated switch, the solenoid closes high-current contacts for the starter motor and it starts ...

6. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

   In regions where the frequency is 60 Hz such as in North America, generators rotate at 1,800 rpm or another divisor of 3600. Diesel engine–generator sets operated at their peak efficiency point can produce between 3 and 4 kilowatt hours of electrical energy for each liter of diesel fuel consumed, with lower efficiency at partial loads.

7. Air-start system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-start_system

   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.
