A system and method is described for an internal combustion engine. The system comprises a compressor configured increase a pressure and temperature of a gas to produce a compressed gas and to maintain a continuous pressure and temperature of the compressed gas at more than four times ambient pressure and greater than a combustion temperature of a fuel and an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine includes a cylinder configured to receive the compressed gas from the compressor at the increased pressure and temperature, a piston disposed in the cylinder, and an intake valve disposed between the compressor and the cylinder, the intake valve configured to open based on a position of the piston for admitting the compressed gas into the cylinder. The system further includes a fuel source configured to provide the fuel to the cylinder.
