Käivituvus

Käivituvus refers to the ease with which an engine can be started. This applies to both internal combustion engines and electric motors. For internal combustion engines, käivituvus is influenced by factors such as the temperature of the engine and the surrounding air, the condition of the battery and starter motor, the quality of the fuel, and the efficiency of the ignition system. Cold temperatures typically make starting more difficult due to increased viscosity of engine oil and fuel, and reduced battery performance.

In electric motors, käivituvus is generally less of a concern than in combustion engines, as they typically have a more direct and consistent power delivery. However, factors like voltage supply, the condition of the motor's windings, and the load it is expected to start under can still play a role. A motor that is difficult to start might indicate an underlying electrical or mechanical issue.

The term is also sometimes used metaphorically to describe the ease with which a project, business, or idea can be initiated and put into motion. In this context, käivituvus might depend on factors like available resources, initial planning, market conditions, and the willingness of stakeholders to commit. A project with high käivituvus is one that can be easily and quickly set in motion.
