<p>A method of preparing a combustible mixture in an internal combustion piston engine, in the working space thereof, defined by the surfaces of the cylinder, of the piston movable inside the cylinder, and of the cylinder head, the engine being controlled by timing means and operable through cyclical strokes which include exchanging the engine charge, compression, combustion and exhaust. The method comprises the steps of connecting the working space to a source of air before the compression stroke, simultaneously producing a mixture of exhaust gases and atomized fuel droplets, immediately supplying the mixture to a storage space closely adjacent and connected with the working space of the engine and then during the compression stroke in the working space, providing for a laminar inflow of air by virtue of positive displacement of the fuel and exhaust gas mixture in the storage space, and compressing the same so that it maintains a non-combustible chemical composition during the compression stroke up until the time. :: that the piston approaches the external dead center position which terminates the compression stroke. Thereupon mixing the mixture with the air flow to produce a sudden pressure increase in the storage space causing immediate pumping into the working space of the mixture of air for subsequent combustion therein. And an internal combustion engine to carry out said method.</p> |
