An igniter system for a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine having one or more cylinders including at least one igniter per cylinder is disclosed. The igniter system can comprise: a combustion chamber connected to a main cylinder of the engine by a restricted diameter bore, wherein a lean burn fuel mixture is introduced into the combustion chamber by the normal compression stroke of the engine; a hydrogen valve that injects a hydrogen rich gas into the combustion chamber forming a mixture of hydrogen and air having a hydrogen concentration above the stoichiometric ratio for hydrogen and air in the combustion chamber; and a spark ignition source that injects hot unburned hydrogen into the main cylinder, thereby initiating ignition.

The technique of the present invention produces a first fuel-air mixture containing a first fuel and the air at a specific ratio, which does not allow for auto ignition of the first fuel-air mixture by simple compression, in a combustion chamber. The technique then injects a second fuel, which has a higher octane value than that of the first fuel, into a partial area of the combustion chamber, so as to produce a second fuel-air mixture. The technique ignites the second fuel-air mixture for combustion, so as to compress and auto-ignite the first fuel-air mixture. The second fuel has the higher octane value, so that a combustion start timing of the second fuel-air mixture is reliably regulated by ignition. Namely the technique positively controls the timing of auto ignition of the first fuel-air mixture. Setting an adequate value to the ignition timing thus effectively prevents the occurrence of knocking in an internal combustion engine that adopts a premix compression ignition combustion system.

A system and method controls auto-ignition of gasoline fuel within a cylinder of an internal combustion engine by varying an exhaust gas retaining duration. A generator provides a parameter indicative of combustion event within the cylinder. An engine controller adjusts an inlet control device and an outlet control device to retain exhaust gas for subjecting the retained exhaust gas to compression. In order to vary duration of the exhaust gas retaining phase, closing timing of the outlet control device is varied based on the parameter.

A compression-ignition low octane gasoline engine. The engine uses low octane gasoline and a compression-ignition method, does not require a spark plug, and compared with ordinary gasoline engines, increases thermal efficiency by approximately 40% and reduces green-house effects caused by emissions by approximately 45%. The "compression-ignition" of the low octane gasoline engine is a diffusion charge compression-ignition, differing from a homogeneous charge compression-ignition. The compression ratio in a cylinder can be 14 to 22, while an ordinary gasoline engine has a compression ratio of 7 to 11. The low octane gasoline engine has a simple structure, easy combustion control, a low noise level, and a low failure rate. As the low octane gasoline can be free of aromatic hydrocarbons, and not require the addition of antiknock agents such as MTBE and MMT, the present novel gasoline engine is a highly efficient, clean, and environmentally friendly internal combustion engine.

The invention relates to a volume-controlled four-stroke reciprocating internal combustion engine (1) comprising a first cylinder (2), in which a first piston that is operationally connected to a crankshaft via a first connecting rod is arranged so as to be displaceable in a reciprocating motion, and at least one second cylinder (3), in which a second piston that is operationally connected to the crankshaft via a second connecting rod is arranged so as to be displaceable in a reciprocating motion, a fresh air tract (4) for the second cylinder (3), in which an expansion/compression machine is arranged in the direction of flow of fresh air before a gas exchange inlet valve of the second cylinder (3), and an exhaust tract (5) for the second cylinder (3), the expansion/compression machine being the first cylinder (2). The volume-controlled internal combustion engine as per the invention has great potential for saving fuel and thereby for reducing CO 2 .
