sometimes its also a size problem;
a electric motor to start a big diesel would need to be huge :eek:

here is a twin air starter setup on an huge EMD 20-645 locomotive engine (used as generator in this case);

note the small size of the two starters (and the huge air lines going to them)

btw
the engine is a 20V with 645 cid (10.7 liter) displacement ... on each cylinder :eek: :smokin:

sorry to the OP for taking this thread completely off track :p
 
My Dad used to be an AGE mechanic for F-106 systems. They had external air starters (air compressors). For remote field landings, the F-106's had a small backup rocket starter.

You need a backup rocket starter in case you don't have air. :grinpimp: :smokin:
now THAT would be cool for the next hotrod cruise :smokin: ....
just dont park on the dry grass :flipoff2:
