Abstract (en)

The invention provides a starter/generator which can be disposed on an end of a crankshaft without increasing the length of the crankshaft. To achieve this, a starter/generator includes a brushless motor 44 having a rotor 15 connected to an end of a crankshaft 12 and a stator including a starter coil 51 and a generator coil 50, a start control means (a three-phase driver 104, a rotor sensor 56, etc.) for converting a battery voltage into AC power and supplying the AC power to the starter coil 51 of the brushless motor 44, and a generation control means (a regulator 52) for supplying electromotive forces induced across the generator coil 50 of the brushless motor 44 to electric loads. <IMAGE>
