we're going to take a look at the basics of starter motors and see how they work blitzblutz: 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.

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.

This is literally just a segment copied from an earlier video of yours Starter Motor Explained - How a car's electric starter motor works and uploaded as a new video with no changes.

Goodness this type starter motor is nearly unused anymore. Most are gear reduction, centrifugal geared bendix assemblies no lifting or holding solenoids

Cant beat the pre-engaged starter motor! Turned one on clamped in a vice, sparked a bit but cool how they work.

I've always wondered how they work exactly. I've know the operation of it, just not why. Thank you for this video!

I wish you wouldve released this video a few weeks ago when I had to completely rebuild the starter on my boat

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