Patent ID: 7319306

Claim:
An internal combustion motor assembly, including an internal combustion motor, a starter and a battery and further comprising: (a) a capacitor assembly; (b) a capacitor charging assembly; and (c) a conductive network, logic and controlled switching assembly, adapted to place said motor assembly into one of a set of states, including: (i) a first state in which said capacitor assembly is electrically connected to and receiving charge from said capacitor charging assembly, but is not electrically connected to said starter; (ii) a second state in which said capacitor assembly is electrically connected to and powers said starter; and (iii) a third state in which both said battery and said capacitor assembly are electrically connected to and power said starter; and (d) wherein said conductive network, logic and controlled switching assembly places said internal combustion motor assembly into said third state after it has been in said second state and any one criteria set out of a predetermined set of criteria sets is met.
