Recently, we informed about the birthdays of Nikola Tesla - a discoverer and constructor of the DC generator, an ancestor of the alternator. Today, Charles Kettering, an American scientist and inventor of the electric car starter, would celebrate his 143rd birthday 🎂 His discovery revolutionized global motoring because the starter replaced previously used crank boot mechanism ⚙ 🚗
An electric starter is very important element of the engine, so it is worth taking care of it. Do not twist the key in the ignition for too long, because after a long operation, the brushes, the commutator and even the pinion can overheat 🔥
