It would be difficult for a single person, but not for a group of engineers. If you have the necessary knowledge, and given enough time and money, you too would come up with something like this
A starter motor and solenoid is an ingenious combination that beats the hell out of cranking a Ford model A by hand. About time they came up with a solution.

This has gotta be the best instructional educational video I’ve ever seen. The monotone voice allows for the viewer to be kinda pulled into the video to learn much more easier.
Amazing how complex even these "simple" and humdrum componants of ordinary vehicles are! Makes you appreciate the amount of engineering in your car so much more when you realise how much thought, trial and error and decades of design evolution has gone into modern day vehicles.
First video for me on this channel. It was more than I expected. This type of video should be shown to high school students to introduce them to mechanics and the lingo it uses
video is very good, but to be really, really perfect, the helicoidal spline is also there because the motor starts to spin before the pinion engages with the flywheel, so the helicoidal spline couteracts this initial rotation to have better mesh of the gears. The early start of the motor is to have it start with little to no load and then add the load later (we're talking about milliseconds later) to reduce the current spike and prevent damage to the whole electrical system.
Could you speak more about the early start of the motor you refer to? I noticed there were two different gauge coils wrapped around the spool. Im assuming this is related to what you are talking about?
I am one of those Radical Petrol Heads, one of those Extremists, but there was x2 things new for me in this beginner-like video! Perfect, so smooth, so flawless! subscribed!
Old starters (before the mid 80s) did not have the planetary gear set depicted in this video and were therefore much larger and heavier and therefore used more power to crank the engine which if the battery was even a little low, it would have difficulty.
I've always had a serious plug-in charger/jumper for that reason. :) In the early 70s, people would put a kick start on the old Harleys (who were always LIGHT YEARS behind Honda, and way overpriced for using such old mechanics...) that had electric start. Because you'd PROBABLY need it in the near future. They were using generators and drum brakes well into the 70s. Plus points and plugs. Eye roll 😆 It was a great deal more maintenance than now. Today, I go out and start it. That's 90% of what needs to be done. Lol
Even though your videos are few and far between, I still subbed. I know how engines/gearboxes/etc. work, but only at a basic level. Your videos explain those crucial minor details that so many other videos miss, but in an easy way to understand. Thank you.
thank you. It’s been a long time since I had my see through toy engine in the 1960s. My dad gave it to me to teach me how an engine work. Amazing how knowledge can help the brain learn! Thanks again - from one who has used AI too much!
One of the Best video tutorial I watch in UA-cam.. very informative ,thank you for sharing your knowledge. Please make more videos specially in diesel generator set .
Thank you, that was a very clever, very clear and accurate illustration of a reasonably complex but also very clever mechanism. Thank you, that was a really good presentation, so very well done, thank you.
Amazing video, full of information. This is why I subscribed to this channel. Cause in every video, there is plenty of information about automobiles and other technical stuff.
Hi techno mechanic, I really appreciate your videos,it's very clear and concise, I suggest you also make a video about "cause and there effects" on a motorcycle engine, I thought its also interesting to see that in animation, maybe this also helps your channel too
The one-way clutch at the very end is the icing on the cake! It also explains why there WASN'T a horrifying screech when I recently got back into my idling car and habitually "turned on" the ignition! It's a '07 Ford Focus, so this "new" technology has been around for awhile apparently.
Here in Africa, we drive 25-40 year old cars. So, these new(ish) technologies are not available. I remember my driving instructor couldn't insist hard enough when letting me know that I should never, ever, ever, ever try to start a car that is already running. He made it sound like the car would implode instantly. Lol
I haven't been intimate with a starter assembly in a long time, since I've been driving newer cars instead of beaters but it was good seeing one again. Now, I don't even know where the starter is on my fwd car. I can't see it, I suspect it's between the engine and the firewall covered with stuff. Cars were more honest and open back when I was working on them back in the 70s- 80s.
Absolutely. I remember changing the starter on my wife's '65 Valiant during my lunch hour. That included driving home, pulling the starter (a 5-minute job on a Slant Six), getting a working starter from the junkyard and installing it. I even had time for a sandwich before going back to work. Like you, I don't even know where the starter might be on my current car. All I can see when I open the hood is a sea of plastic.
Yeah, but just THINK! You don't HAVE to know it! Isn't that BRILLIANT??? I know all about a 1972 Harley because I HAD to. It was ALWAYS nothing but problems. Bought a Gold Wing. Entirely US made in 1994. Lost a water pump and it was replaced for free and without the patronizing, too. Never go back to something 30 years behind Honda again.
Very Helpful! I really liked the video! I own a company of Intercooler Tester Kits and this is a great video to explain how the engine works. Congratulations
Very well presented and well thought out video. Thank you for this! There is only one caveat: the answer to the question at 1:12 "Why solenoid and contactor are used instead of *directly* connecting battery to the motor and reducing the complexity" is *not* because of high current demand of the motor. If we had this simplified circuit (like shown at 1:18) , the motor would be always on, which obviously the electric motor should only run when we want to crank the engine until it starts. In any other instance this motor is turned off. Perhaps they meant why not to use any other switch instead of solenoid, which is designed to handle heavy currents. However, the way it is shown it would run contentiously.
Every second of this video is information. No time wasted, straight to the point
hii everybody check out my channel tnx
"No time wasted, straight to the point" Yup, I don't know why people prefer that MTV crap.
bro plz
How anyone invented this is mind boggling. The genius it took to design such a part that we take for granted every day.
It is very simple
@@vitorvxc it is simple now a days because it's common. It was difficult first time.😉
@@vitorvxc "simple"
It would be difficult for a single person, but not for a group of engineers.
If you have the necessary knowledge, and given enough time and money, you too would come up with something like this
So what happened before starter motors came about?
The animations really help to understand what is going on.
Hey
hii everybody check out my channel tnx
Lord himself
Hi GOAT
absolutely right!
It's amazing, the solenoid not only engages and disengages the gear, but also is a timing mechanism AND a relay, all in one, great design
❤❤
A starter motor and solenoid is an ingenious combination that beats the hell out of cranking a Ford model A by hand. About time they came up with a solution.
Honestly I wouldn't mind cranking an engine the old fashioned way.
@@bono894 until it’s cold and rainy, snowy, stormy, or windy
@@bono894 that is, until you have to crank a 5-8L V8 or bigger
But why they did not used a contactor instead of solenoid it would have saved a lot of space.a
@@benjamingreen9540 Yup, you got that right.

I understood completely in 4 minutes what I failed to to understand fully in 4 years of auto school. Thank you!😊
In some of those schools they treat you like a idiot while not teaching nothing at all, it's not all of them, but some of them.
you should have asked questions... and please don't work on my car
Just proves schools and universities are waste of time
❤❤
This channel is brilliant. Fantastic animations, loads of information, and great explanations. Thank you so much!

I like how the video is so short and full of loads the same time.
hella loads
just unloaded to this vid
This instructional is nothing short of exceptional. Definitely subscribing.

Im speecgless at how clear this video is at explaining this to me. Excellent video imo.
0:14 Everyone can have their own opinion, including the starter motor.
😂😂
What a blessing to have education like this so convenient
incredibly nice and simple , super explanation and straight forward information . Thank you
first of all soothing and beautiful voice. second, info is well arranged for the viewers. you are a very talented video creator , ma'am.
This video is very helpful in explaining the vocational students in our school. Thank you
Excellent work done to demonstrate the working of starter motor with superb animations

If they had taught us in Navy A and C Schools with this style teaching, I would have learned to be a mechanic so much faster. Thank you for this.
Gulfport?
Thank you, that was a very clever, very clear and accurate illustration of a reasonably complex but also very clever mechanism.
Thank you, that was a really good presentation, so very well done, thank you.
Thanks for all the info guys, I got a 1988 ford Sierra and never realised how the engine starter works
Straight forward and easy to understand 🙌
So well done. God I hate those videos with no sound or explanation of what's going on. They never answer any questions I have. This was on perfect
This video clearly explains how a starter motor works
Amazing video👍🏼clear and to the point. It was literally taking the questions from my head and turning them into answers immediately 🤣
Way more complicated than I thought. Each little problem has an engineered solution. Very complex, but still elegant.
Yes agreed
Great as always. I think you should start another channel on how to make animations.
yesssss
This is fascinating to learn since I have started to replace my starters myself, on our vehicles, instead if paying a mechanic to do it.
Animations and narration are excellent
Engineers, engineering and the people who build or manufacture the designs of engineered products is what drives our modern society.😎👍
Read it from a book would take u a very,very, long time to understand the method these videos are super helpful
Amazing video, full of information. This is why I subscribed to this channel. Cause in every video, there is plenty of information about automobiles and other technical stuff.
Love it! Simplify the world one vid at a time!
Hi techno mechanic, I really appreciate your videos,it's very clear and concise, I suggest you also make a video about "cause and there effects" on a motorcycle engine, I thought its also interesting to see that in animation, maybe this also helps your channel too
A class for only 4 minutes and can go home with full knowledge.
That was very good and to the point. Great job.
This information is GOLD.
Thank you very much!!!!!!!
Beautifully explained. Thank you
The way the solenoid is used is genius.

I can’t believe humans sat down and invented all of this insaneeee.
Excellent explanation, thank you! I really liked the narrator's voice :)
Excellent 3D graphics and explanation - many thanks!

Exactly why I hate newer cars. I love my '02 Taurus.
Those were real man cars and these days shit ass flying into the air without any takeoff
I love old model car atleast 20yrs old hope companies bring back their old beasts

Thanks, guys, appreciated all the wonderful information in the video. Fix my problem cheers from melbourne/australia
Thank you for creating such a wonderful video
Best 3 minute video ever
THANKS A LOT FOR THE GOOD EXPLANATION.
Nice video, with decent narration.
Very good tutorial. Thanks for the clip. This is what a good training is about.
Excellent... Explanations
Waiting for next video..... 👍👍👍
Thank you for this video it is very helpful for my class in automotive servicing
Her voice is so relaxing and engaging.
Excellent animation and explanation 👌! Thank you!
This is absolutely awesome!
Wow.... so easily explained..... 😇
Thanks to the animator and the vocalist 🧑🎤
Thank you! Well explained and very nice job with the graphics! My students will love it!!
Excellent explanation! In addition, most modern onboard software is as a participant in this example's direct-link between key and solenoid.
in principle it looks simple but the little details make it ingenious, especially the triple role solenoid
Now that was elegant way to explain things.
Good explanation..👌
Very Helpful! I really liked the video!
I own a company of Intercooler Tester Kits and this is a great video to explain how the engine works. Congratulations
inventor was really genius.....hats off
Nice explain and presentations. Appreciate it 👍
Very good video. Extremely easy to understand
THANK GOD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL
Best explanation for something we might don't know how it's works.
Awesome video! Congratulations!!!
I replaced a starter solenoid today, and now I understand how it works!
Beautiful animation!
Phenomenal video. Very informative and great animation.
Thanks for wonderful and simplified explanation
Gmg sir saw the video
Thanx for ur knowledge
Good animations
Best regards

you misunderstood the video... and it's spelled "continuously"
Does the AC/ DC aspect too come into play? Can the motor be used to generator power to recharge battery instead of alternator?
