IMPROVED STARTER FOR PISTON ENGINE ALLOWING A MITIGATION OF THE RESISTIVE TORQUE
The present invention pertains to a system for starting a piston engine, comprising a crankshaft (1) adapted to rotate a shaft of said piston engine, and a starter (2), said system being characterised in that it further comprises a sequence of gimbals (3) comprising at least one universal joint, said series of gimbals (3) comprising an input shaft (5) adapted to be selectively rotatably connected to the starter (2), and an output shaft (6) rotatably connected to the crankshaft (1), said sequence of gimbals carry out a transformation of the instantaneous rotational velocity of the output shaft (6) relative to the intake shaft (5) that makes it possible to smooth out the resistive torque resulting from the compressions.
