<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multiple discharge plasma apparatus for enhancing combustion by performing combustion promotion at a plurality of positions in a combustion chamber. <P>SOLUTION: The multiple discharge plasma apparatus is provided with a plurality of discharge apparatuses 810 arranged on at least one of the members each of which has an electrode 811 exposed in a combustion chamber 400 and configures the combustion chamber; an antenna 820 arranged on at least one of the members configuring the combustion chamber so as to radiate electromagnetic waves to the combustion chamber; an electromagnetic wave transmission path 830, which is arranged on at least one of the members configuring the combustion chamber, with one end connected to the antenna and the other end covered with an insulating material or a dielectric material and extending to a portion in a cylinder block 100 or a cylinder head 300 at a distance from the combustion chamber; and an electromagnetic wave generating apparatus 840 which supplies the electromagnetic wave transmission path with electromagnetic waves. The multiple discharge plasma apparatus is configured such that the electrodes of the plurality of discharge apparatuses are made to discharge electricity in a compression stroke, and the electromagnetic waves supplied from the electromagnetic wave generating apparatus through the electromagnetic wave transmission path are radiated from the antenna. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
