Date Aug. 31, 1995A starter for a drive unit, such as an internal combustion engine, includes a stationary and a movable base element which form a linear motor. The movable base element is seated on a revolving shaft of the drive unit an inertia mass of a flywheel of the drive unit. The inertia mass of the flywheel is rigidly connected with the revolving shaft and is acted upon with sufficient torque required for the starting of the drive unit. Upon starting, the linear motor is switched over into a generator operation.
