A device for assuring start of an internal combustion engine (1) comprises an electrical machine (3) drivingly connected to the engine crankshaft (2). Said machine can operate both as a motor and as a generator and it is controlled by a control unit (4) including a current director (8). With the aid of the control unit, the functions of the electrical machine can be switched between full generator function and full motor function within one rotation of the crankshaft to make possible full motor power during the compression stroke and full generator power during the power stroke. |
