Air engine starters start engines by using compressed air. A small engine (or the main engine itself before the starter is needed) powers an air compressor which compresses air into a tank. Compressing the air gives it energy. This energy is then released via a valve and converted into rotation by a pneumatic starter motor, which then rotates the flywheel, starting the engibe. Once the engine is running under its own power, it can power compressor to recharges the tank, allowing the system to be used again later if required. Unlike electrical motors air starters have a reduced risk of sparking while in use, making them safe for use in hazardous environments.
