An internal combustion motor assembly, including an internal combustion
motor, a starter and a battery. In addition, the motor assembly includes
a capacitor assembly, a capacitor charging assembly and a conductive
network, logic and controlled switching assembly adapted to place the
internal combustion motor into one of a set of states. This set includes
a first state in which the capacitor assembly is receiving charge from
the capacitor charging assembly but is not electrically connected to the
starter; a second state in which the capacitor assembly is electrically
connected to and powers the starter; and a third state in which both the
battery and the capacitor assembly are electrically connected to and
power the starter. The logic and controlled switching assembly places the
internal combustion motor assembly into the third state after it has been
in the second state and a set of criteria is met.
