@ No Hoper
Again , you raise a red herring....IF the starter was sufficiently fast to throw-out the impulse coupling, that would indicate that the engine manufacturer thought retardation and impulse were not required at that rotational speed....QED.
What part of "
IF are you having difficulty with?
The whole thing is hypothetical. If you re-read all the thread, someone suggested that the high torque permanent magnet starters are
BAD because they crank too quickly.....I was merely pointing out that, IMO this is a half-baked argument and gave the justification for my reasoning.....It has yet to be refuted.
I do not make a habit of flooding engines. A lifetime of fettling 2-strokes, 4-strokes, Agricultural, Marine, Aviation and road, have given me some understanding of the applied physics involved....Again, my description was meant to be an analysis of each compression stroke event on a cylinder during the starting phase.
Although there is a large "technical" section to the UK PPL, It seems the majority of PILOTS learn by rote and can repeat parrot-fashion without any understanding of the subject they are repeating......like a book, all the info is there, but it's too dumb to use it.
I once knew an engineer who had trouble with a gas appliance.....When I explained that a thermocouple produced electricity , when heated, He told me in no uncertain terms that I was extracting the urine and talking cobblers He only backed down when a random customer was asked how the device worked and repeated the answer.
Another refused to believe the theory behind "stretch-bolts" for accurate cylinder head/block tightening.....He had to physically "feel" them go on the last angular tightening, before he understood why they are a "once-only" use for their intended purpose.
We must be receptive to new applications of science and new scientific discoveries......Stab-proof cloth (Kevlar) ? Carbon-fibre structures? how many people thought these were flights of fancy when they were announced?
Flying with eagles isn't a problem (keeping up with them is another story )
watching out for the dinosaurs is where the problems start.
