A combustion chamber system 100 comprises a combustion chamber 102 defined around an axis and into which an air-fuel mixture is to be charged, ignition means disposed within the combustion chamber 102 for igniting the air-fuel mixture disposed within the combustion chamber 102, and a single component intake/exhaust valve 112 movably disposed within the combustion chamber 102 between first CLOSED and second OPEN positions for controlling the intake of air into the combustion chamber 102 and the exhaust of combustion products out from the combustion chamber 102. A first combustion air intake port 126 is defined within an upper side wall portion of the combustion chamber 102 and a second combustion product exhaust port 130 is defined within an upper wall portion of the combustion chamber 102. The single component intake/exhaust valve 112 has an annular configuration which permits combustion air to enter the first combustion air intake port 126 for flow into the combustion chamber 102 and combustion products to be exhausted from the combustion chamber 102 through the second combustion product exhaust port 130, when the single component intake/exhaust valve 112 is disposed at the second OPEN position. When the valve 112 is at the first open position, it prevents combustion air from entering the first combustion air intake port 126 for flow into the combustion chamber 102, and it also prevents combustion products from being exhausted from the combustion chamber 102 through the second combustion product exhaust port 130. The annularly configured single component intake/exhaust valve 112 and the upper wall portion of the combustion chamber 102 defining the second combustion product exhaust port 130 comprise oppositely oriented flanged portions such that when the single component intake/exhaust valve 112 is disposed at the first OPEN position, the combustion air entering the first combustion air intake port 126 for flow into the combustion chamber 102 will traverse a sinusoidal flow path.
