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. Ignition magneto - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_magneto

   Because the magneto has low voltage output at low speed, starting an engine is more difficult. [5] Therefore, some magnetos have an impulse coupling, a spring-like mechanical linkage between the engine and magneto drive shaft which "winds up" and "lets go" at the proper moment for spinning the magneto shaft.

4. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

   In addition to the engine and generator, engine–generators generally include a fuel supply, a constant engine speed regulator (governor) in diesel and a generator voltage regulator, cooling and exhaust systems, and lubrication system. Units larger than about 1 kW rating often have a battery and electric starter motor; very large units may ...

5. Alternator (automotive) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator_(automotive)

   Alternator regulators are also simpler than those for generators. Generator regulators require a cutout relay to isolate the output coils (the armature) from the battery at low speed; that isolation is provided by the alternator rectifier diodes. Also, most generator regulators include a current limiter; alternators are inherently current-limited.

6. Contact breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_breaker

   The contact breaker is operated by an engine-driven cam.On an engine with a distributor, the contact breaker can be found beneath the distributor cap.The position of the contact breaker is set so that it opens (and hence generates a spark) at exactly the optimum moment to ignite the fuel/air mixture.

7. Motor controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_controller

   A motor controller is a device or group of devices that can coordinate in a predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor. [1] A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor, selecting forward or reverse rotation, selecting and regulating the speed, regulating or limiting the torque, and protecting against overloads and electrical ...

9. Magneto - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto

   De Méritens is best remembered today for his production of magneto generators specifically for lighthouses. These were favoured for their simplicity and reliability, in particular their avoidance of commutators. [7] In the sea air of a lighthouse, the commutator that had been used previously with dynamo generators was a continual source of ...
