Schwungkraftanlasser or Inertia Starter 

I'd sure like to see more about the gear train and how the device actually works. I saw one of these on a truck, and thought it was a massive additive gear train attached to a flywheel, but I guess not.

Finally I know what it looks like up close, thank you !

Very well documented! I've always wanted to learn more about this amazing airplane engineering from that time ! Thank you very much :-)

They just sound so cool I could listen to them for hours.

A good explanation and very suitable music, makes you feel one is looking back in time

Skylord Bob ... GREAT video/explanation! Being a fan of the Bf 109E specifically, I had always wondered what the starting procedure was all about, and especially with the hand cranking/sound. An inertia starter! THANKS for an excellent explanation!

Really good. Information dense and packed in a professional way. Nice

Just what I've always wanted to know ! Thank you.

Such a great educational video!! Thank you so much

Very well made video, all most exactly what I was looking for.

Loved the video thank you. Informative and well presented. No more speculating on how it works. Prima!

Very cool video

Tolles Video, gut erklärt, sehr informativ. Good Video, very good explanation of the starting-technique ,.....

awesome video very well explained , thanks for sharing👍

i always had a question about this startes and that very peculiar sound they make , very nice video keep posting please

thumbs up from me 2. I saw a yt video of a warbird starting up hence I was curious as to how it all works. thanks skylrd bob.

Excelente!

Awesome video!

It is perfectly feasible to energise the flywheel via the manual winding socket using an external electric motor a short shaft and overrun clutch with current supplied from batteries on a trolley. Such trollies were standard equipment at pre war US civil airports, relieving ground staff of the irksome job of winding up the flywheel. I can use a 1940,s Willy,s CJ3 Jeep to start a large radial aero engine ,i,e a Wright R-2600 Double Cyclone. On the back of the Jeep,s 3-speed Warner Gearbox is a power take off,like a tractor, . A shaft with a dog clutch runs from the PTO under the Jeep,s body to a strong flexible shaft attached to the PTO, the other is a hand held epycliyc angle drive gearbox with throw out clutch ,like a large Black&Decker electric drill. Once the R-2600 is primed ready to start . One mechanic sits in the Jeep it,s , 2.2 litre 'Go Devil' engine ticking over, hand brake on, foot on the clutch, selects neutral waits for a signal from the second engineer with the external starter gearbox coupled to the flywheel winding shaft nods his head to the jeep driver. He engages the PTO then feeds in the Jeep,s clutch and throttle. The Jeep is now driving the starter flywheel up to the required rpm . When the gear whine sound is right, two nods from the engineers head the pilot pulls the starter clutch as normal, the engine fires, Jeep driver dis engages the PTO as the second engineer disengages the external starter using the throw out clutch , he walks slowly backwards inline with the wing leading edge clear of the spinning propeller , jumps in the jeep to be driven clear as the aircraft is ready to taxy out for take off.

good job well done

I would like to find a source of inertia starters for small engines. It's a pain to keep batteries maintained for all the different machines I have that I only need to use 2 times a year. It would be nice to be able to just turn on the magneto, give it a crank for about a minute, and pull the handle. Might have to do it a couple of times, but that beats fighting with a dead battery all the time.

I always thought that hand cranking loaded a spring motor which was spun up, then coupled to the engine via a clutch.

Finally the mistery has been cleared. Thanks a lot👏 What's the game called?

As the piston engines became larger and heavier, it was planned - and also tested - to start them with the F-type "Riedel" starter, a modified version of the S-type that was used for the ME 262 jets ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Azxzu1sqCU.html among others.

Funktioniert das auch in IL-2 Sturmovik 1946?

Well some DB 601 engines have a classic starter, this one for example (and other Bf 109 Es on RU-vid too): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nrsevx137jg.html
