  • Patent number: 10181769
    Abstract: A reciprocating piston engine is disclosed having a first inner magnetic field unit, arranged on a first crank web of a crankshaft, and a stationary first outer magnetic field unit, wherein the first inner magnetic field unit and the first outer magnetic field unit together form a first electromagnetic converter, in particular an electric motor or an electric generator. The first crank web has a first compensating weight on a side that is opposite a first connecting rod bearing and that faces radially outwards in relation to a crankshaft axis, wherein the first compensating weight is made of a non-magnetizable material. The first inner magnetic field unit is arranged on a side of the first compensating weight that faces outwards in relation to the crankshaft axis. The invention also relates to a system comprising the reciprocating piston engine, an energy store, an electric control unit and a crankshaft sensor.

  • Patent number: 10135317
    Abstract: A reciprocating piston engine is disclosed having a first inner magnetic field unit comprising a first inner magnetic field unit arranged on a first crank arm of a crankshaft including a magnetizable material, and a stationary first outer magnetic field unit. The first inner magnetic field unit and the first outer magnetic field unit together form a first electromechanical converter. The first crank arm has a first securing surface on a face which points radially outwards with respect to a crankshaft axis and which is opposite a first connecting rod bearing. A first counterweight is fixed to the first securing surface in a formfitting manner in the radial direction, said first counterweight including a non-magnetizable material. The first magnetic field unit is arranged on a counterweight face pointing radially outwards with respect to the crankshaft axis.
