    Abstract: An internal combustion engine with at least two movable bodies each being sealingly and movably received within a respective internal cavity to define at least one combustion chamber of variable volume. A pilot fuel injector and a main fuel injector are provided for each movable body. A first chamber of a common rail is in fluid communication with each main fuel injector, and a second chamber of the common rail in fluid communication with each pilot fuel injector. A first metering or pressure regulating valve is in fluid communication with the first chamber. A second metering or pressure regulating valve provides selective fluid communication between the first and second chambers; the metering or pressure regulating valves are settable at different pressure values from one another. The movable bodies may be reciprocating pistons. A method of combusting fuel in an internal combustion engine is also provided.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling an air input in a rotary engine, including selectively controlling a plurality of inlet ports communicating with an internal combustion cavity of the engine, the ports located serially downstream of the exhaust port relative direction of a revolution of a rotor of the engine. The inlet ports are controlled to alter air intake at various engine operational stages, such as start up, idle, etc., to allow for varying operational requirements to be met. For example: when a power demand on the engine lower than a predetermined threshold, control may be effected by opening a primary inlet port and closing a secondary inlet port; and, when the power demand exceeds the predetermined threshold, control may be effected by opening the primary inlet port and opening the secondary inlet port, the secondary inlet port being located such as to be in communication with the exhaust port throughout portions of the revolution of the engine to purge exhaust gases of the engine.
