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.
