  • The crank starter, is the recommended way of starting a Tiger in cold weather conditions, because batteries in WW2 were not very reliable, the tank also has an electric starter. The hand crank turns a heavy flywheel at the rear of the engine, when it reaches a high rotation speed, a pin is pushed or pulled, this connects the spinning flywheel to the crank shaft, which spins up the pistons thus starting the engine.

    For those who don't know, This is called an *inertial starter.*
    That pole would be connected to a gear inside that hole, which would be connected to a few other gears in a step-up fashion. (Gear reduction but the opposite way). The other end of that gear train would be a *heavy* gear that connects to the engine's flywheel (connected to the crankshaft). Now that gear is heavy for a reason.
    When you got that last gear up to a high enough rotational speed, the momentum, the driver would use whatever mechanisms to connect that gear to the flywheel. Then, the energy of the _inertia_ of that gear's fast rotation would go into the flywheel, turning it. It wouldn't turn it for long. But it would be just long enough to get the engine started. Which is why i love german engines. They barely make a full revolution before starting up. Which, even by modern standards, is damn impressive.
    Even as old as this big heavy Maybach engine is, it started up in no time at all! And in my book, the mark of a well-designed engine is the quick fidelity of it's starting process.
    EDIT: Maybach engine, NOT porsche. I always thought it was a porsche engine. Thanks for the correction!

      Yes but how hard would it be to mount a similar system as a backup starter on my old Ford. I've asked on countless automotive forums and nobody can give a concrete answer. They used to put inertials on old semi trucks too it can't be that hard right? Some fabrication work maybe but surely not as hard as totally rebuilding the engine

    Its not actually a hand crank, no human would be strong enough to crank over a Tiger I's engine, no way in hell. This is an inertia starter, used on planes and tanks for ages, its a big old heavy flywheel that is slowly accelerated by an electric motor or human power, and once it is spinning fast enough it is engaged with the crankshaft and cranks the engine.

      Yes and also with use of leverage and mechanical advantage, but the puny human's power output is never enough at any one time to crank over the engine, not close either, try and crank over a diesel engine, any diesel engine, and you'll see. Gasmoline engines are more forgiving because of the lower compression ratios.
      But yeah in theory if you accumulated all the kinetic energy you produced and liberated in the environment after it was brought to you by the sun more or less directly through organic chemistry in chemical form, you might have quite a bang, someone must have estimated that number somewhere.

      The driver only uses the clutch when starting out from a dead stop. From there, the clutch and shifting is semi-automatic. The driver pre-selects the next gear then pushes the lever to actuate the shift. Clutch actuation and gear shifting is done by a hydraulic system. It appears 131 needs some adjusting.

      Yes that is true, but their manufacturing methods where sadly lacking, no mass production on the scale the allies used.
      It's been said by the Germans themselves that they produced each Panzer of all Marks pretty much by hand, one at a time.
      Only a little over 1500 Tigers were ever build, their best all-round Tank was the Panther too few of them.(about 7000 I think)
      And it was the excellent Russian KV-1 Heavy and T34 Medium Tanks that spurred the Germans to build the Tiger-E and Panther-D.

      Justin Haas the panther tanks had also been struck by the misfortion of being made by Germany, the tank was built then deployed without proper testing and half of them broke down before they could even start combat, the Russians built the sturdy T34s wich did not run on gas like most of the German armor and did a good job at countering German armor.

I suppose with time and practice, a driver would reach a point where he would be able to perform this smoothly. Other tanks of the time had crash boxes where every gear change was like this, but they were more resilient and simple to build.

      +Steeltrap yeah but the King Tiger was prettier, and the Panther was sorta nice too, the T34 Russian tanks were a copy of the Panther with sloped armor that made them much harder to penetrate.

      The Panther was a copy of the T-34, not the other way around (well, technically its design started before the war, but was influenced once Germany encountered the T-34 and KV-1 in 1941(. The T-34 was in service when the Germans invaded Russia in 1941 while the Panther was first supplied to units early in 1943.

      I could be wrong, but AFAIK, funny thing tho, the T-34 is the result of researches/tests made together by Russia and Germany on tanks before WW2.

    Tiger Porsche version that was rejected in favor of this Tiger variant actually had hybrid engine.
    In 2016 we still don´t have that many hybrid cars, you would think they would be driven by everyone already, but they are still quite rare. And during muddy and freezing invasion of Soviet Union, Germans believed time had come for hybrid tank. Germans are just so notorious for making something way too complicated. Russians put together tractor, engine and gun and they call it T34 and destroy many German tanks with those, while Germans were over-engineering before they even had cars.
    Respect for sure. Those Porsche tanks did really work too. And it was not puny car, or light tank, or medium tank, but heaviest tank Germans had!
    There is just something seriouselly wrong with Germans. They conguered Rome, they were major political power in Europe long before German nation was born. Holy Roman Empire was basically European Union with Emperor. Prussia decided they did not need army for their nation, so instead their army had a nation - state budjet was 7 million thalers, 5 million went to military. And Prussia, tiny nation of 8 million men, fought off multiple world powers with tens of times their population, and won the war. In Napoleonic wars Germans did half the fighting of the war (if all Germans are put together), and at Waterloo big portion of Wellington`s army were Germans - and then came Prussians. Then Germans decided to fight each other a little and Prussian went on to fight France and form German Empire while Austria formed Austro-Hungarian Empire. Then Germany had to help their allies all the time and did most of the fighting in WW1, and fought off the world for 4 years. Came close to victory too. In WW2 Germany did far better, first fought off 2 front war and defeated Poland in a month, and France in bit longer time - where as in WW1 it took millions of casualties and 4 years and France was not defeated. Then Germans visited Balkans as they again had to help their allies, and invaded Soviet Union. There there were single battles with more losses than in entire western front. After fighting entire world and helping their allies for 6 years, Germany was divided in 2.
    And in 2016, 2 world wars were fought against Germany and here Germany is leading European Union, is major economical power, and despite being pacifist nation has one of the strongest armies in the world.
    Somebody should tell Germans what word "impossible" means. But i guess that would be impossible.
