<p>An internal combustion engine includes a set of gas chambers including a compression chamber for compressing a fuel/gas mixture and a combustion and exhaust chamber for combusting the fuel/gas mixture and for exhausting the waste gases. The compression chamber and the combustion and exhaust chamber are defined by stationary wall and a moving wall. Means are provided for sequestering a portion of the gases in the compression chamber. The sequestering means are controlled by the position of the sequestering means with respect to the wall of the compression chamber. A transfer chamber saves the sequestered gases and releases the sequested gases into the combustion and exhaust chamber at a predetermined time in the engine cycle before the gases are exhausted from the engine. The gas sequestering and transfer means can be used in a rotary engine, a linear engine, and a reciprocating engine.</p> |
