Abstract
An emergency starter that allows responsiveness within a few seconds, without having disadvantages associated with mass and size of a back-up hydraulic or pneumatic starter. An instantaneous gas thrust of pyrotechnic type is coupled with a positive displacement transmission generator in conjunction with automatic coupling to/uncoupling from a set that is to be started. An emergency start-up system includes at least one pyrotechnic gas generator connected to an electrical initiator itself connected to a computer, a positive displacement motor housing straight-cut gears, the pyrotechnic gas generator being coupled to the motor by an inlet in the casing. The motor includes a mechanism of connection capable of moving at one end of the drive shaft configured to couple the transmission shaft to a driven shaft of the set that is to be started via a centrifugal clutch.
