Abstract

The present invention relates to an energy-conversion system comprising an internal combustion engine (1) and a generator (2) which is driven by the internal combustion engine, and comprising a rotational connection which couples a first shaft (3) of the internal combustion engine (1) to at least one second shaft (5) of the energy-conversion system, wherein the second shaft (5) rotates in the opposite direction to the first shaft (3) and the first shaft (3) is arranged parallel to the second shaft (5), wherein products of moments of inertia and respectively associated rotational speed ratios of individual rotating components, which are rotationally coupled to one another by means of the rotational connection, at least approximately cancel one another out.
