Development of a novel engine starter using a compression spring

Automotive starting system requires an external torque to overcome the cranking resistance in order to initiate the engine operation. Conventionally, this is accomplished by applying an electrical starter motor powered by a lead acid battery. As commonly known, this battery consists of harmful chem...
