    I saw a show years ago and, if my memory is correct, it was a couple of young fellows from Michigan that came up with the starter motor for automobiles. They sold the device to General Motors for one million dollars, which was an absolute fortune in those days and wouldn't be too bad even now. Before this, people had to get out and hand-crank the motors to get them started and I know that some WWII German tanks needed to be hand-cranked by two men. The young guys took the money and traveled the world. Sounded like they had a good life.

      The irony is that that invention, the electric self starter, became the death knell for the electric car at the time. It is said that Henry Ford’s wife drove an electric.

    Very good description. It never ceases to amaze me how magnetism can cause motion.....especially when cranking an engine. I've rebuilt many GM starter motors from the 1960's and 1970's during that time. My Dad taught me. Also rebuilt Ford, Chrysler, Nissan and large truck cranking motors. Never worked on an air starter. Interesting animal that one.

    My Accord wouldn't start, lights and dashboard worked but there was no starting 'click' usually associated with the starter or specifically the solenoid. My neighbor gave the starter motor a little bang and the engine worked! I'm thinking the solenoid was stuck.

    How does the starter motor move into the flywheel position without bashing the teeth on the flywheel?

    • @rafmatt1607
      @rafmatt1607 2 роки тому +7

      The teeth on the starter gear are cut so that they will slip into the flywheel gear. Kind of a bevel cut

    • @mikel4879
      @mikel4879 2 роки тому +5

      Taeguy / By the geometrical shape of the teeth, as Raf Matt says here in his text.
      However, even if the teeth of the two pinions ( gears ) would be exactly one in another, the light pushing force applied by the mechanical fork combined with the rotation of the starter makes possible for the teeth to intercalate instantly.

    • @spelunkerd
      @spelunkerd 2 роки тому +2

      I agree with the replies so far. When you take the gears apart you also find the mechanism is spring loaded, with no hard contact between teeth if it meets direct contact. If contact is made, the spring maintains pressure to engage while the gear is rotating, so when a gap is found the spring can push the teeth all the way home. The ring gear teeth are harder than the teeth of the starter, so in theory if the teeth get damaged you are likely to repair that by simply replacing the starter. As stated in the video, when the teeth are extended they also rotate, which gives more versatility to slip into the next available gap. The overall design, including the clever pull-in coil switching, is genius.

    Sir which starter is more powerful
    permanent magnet stator or electromagnet stator ?

    • @childishtombino1275
      @childishtombino1275 2 роки тому +2

      Doesn't matter, unless one form of magnet happens to be stronger. One thing to note with an electromagnetic stator is that will also be drawing current from the battery, potentially reducing the voltage potential across the battery (thus reducing performance by a degree).
      Strictly DC motors will almost always be permanent magnet. Motors that use an electromagnet stator and also run on DC are universal motors, from a quick google search, it seems they typically aren't as efficient as a DC motor.

      It’s better if the the teeth on on your started could be damaged. Better to replace the started because if the teeth on your flywheel are damaged the transmission will have to be moved to access and change it.
