snowboarding at the 2018 winter olympics – men's big air
large diesel generators and almost all diesel engines used as the prime mover of ships use compressed air acting directly on the cylinder head. this is not ideal for smaller diesels, as it provides too much cooling on starting. also, the cylinder head needs to have enough space to support an extra valve for the air start system. the air start system is conceptually very similar to a distributor in a car. there is an air distributor that is geared to the camshaft of the diesel engine; on the top of the air distributor is a single lobe similar to what is found on a camshaft. arranged radially around this lobe are roller tip followers for every cylinder. when the lobe of the air distributor hits one of the followers it will send an air signal that acts upon the back of the air start valve located in the cylinder head, causing it to open. compressed air is provided from a large reservoir that feeds into a header located along the engine. as soon as the air start valve is opened, the compressed air is admitted and the engine will begin turning. it can be used on 2-cycle and 4-cycle engines and on reversing engines. on large 2-stroke engines less than one revolution of the crankshaft is needed for starting.
