PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve fuel reforming effect and to reduce emission. SOLUTION: In this engine, a high-frequency electric field generator 14 forms a high-frequency electric field in a combustion chamber 4 during a compression stroke to induction-heat, ignite and burn a mixture in the combustion chamber 4. Because the induction heating decomposes high-molecular weight hydrocarbon molecules in a fuel into low-molecular weight hydrocarbon molecules to reform the fuel, a fuel consumption rate and an exhaust characteristics can be improved.
