PURPOSE: To increase the output torque by injecting a water heated over the carburetion point into a cylinder chamber immediately before the start of each combustion stroke in an internal combustion engine, producing water vapor, and making good use of the energy of evaporative expansion. CONSTITUTION: When an internal combustion engine is in operation, gasified fuel is introduced to a cylinder chamber 2 from an air supply pipe 5, compressed by a piston 3, ignited by an ignition plug 7, and exhausted from an exhaust pipe 6. Immediately before the gasified fuel is ignited upon being compressed in the cylinder chamber 2, the water in a tank 10 is passed through a heating/ pressurizing device 11 and injected into the cylinder chamber 2 from an injection nozzle 8 using a pump 12. At the same time as combustion of the gasified fuel, the water is evaporated and left expanding together with the fuel, which leads to an increase in the output torque of the piston-cylinder device 1. |
