Abstract
Internal-combustion engines must be cranked by a starter at a minimum speed before they can supply sufficient energy in sustained operation from the combustion cycles to cover the momentary requirements for the compression and gas exchange cycles. When an engine is first started, the bearing surfaces are not adequately lubricated so that high levels of friction have to be overcome when cranking the engine.
