INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The invention relates to an internal combustion engine comprising a compression space (3), which is delimited by fixed housing walls (1, 2) and by a piston (5) displaceably mounted therein, and comprising a porous body (4) that fills up a combustion chamber (6) that is separate from the compression space (3). The combustion of fuel and air ensues exclusively in the porous body (4). The compression space (3) is connected to the combustion chamber (6) only via an overflow cross-section (8) for permitting the combustion gases resulting during combustion to overflow out of the combustion chamber (6) and into the compression space (3).
