An internal combustion engine (E) includes a crankshaft (5), and a bearing cap (8) supporting the crankshaft (5) for rotation. Permanent magnets (20) serving as magnetic field creating members are attached to the balance weights (W1a to W6a) formed integrally with the webs (W1 to W6) of the crankshaft (5). Coils (21) are attached to the bearing cap bodies (A1 to A4) of the bearing cap (8). The permanent magnets (20) and the coils (21)form electromechanical transducers (M1 to M6). A small gap can be formed and maintained between the permanent magnets (20) and the corresponding coils (21) with reliability without entailing substantial increase in the size of the internal combustion engine. The electromechanical transducers (M1 to M6)are controlled according to the operating mode of the internal combustion engine so as to serve as electric motors or generators.
