Abstract: An internal combustion reciprocating engine includes a cylinder defining a main combustion chamber, a piston reciprocally movable in the cylinder, and a cylinder head providing an end wall for the main combustion chamber. A body is mounted in the cylinder head and is provided with an end wall substantially coincident with the main combustion chamber end wall, the body defining a pre-chamber and a passage interconnecting the pre-chamber and the cylinder. The body is in contact with the cylinder head only proximate the end wall of the body, the remainder of the body being insulated from the cylinder head, to store heat for heating air and vaporizing fuel introduced into the pre-chamber. A fuel inlet is in communication with the pre-chamber, and a spark source is mounted in the body and exposed to the pre-chamber. The invention further contemplates a method for burning a mixture of fuel and air in an internal combustion engine having a cylinder defining a main combustion chamber, and a piston reciprocally movable in the cylinder, the method comprising the steps of igniting a mixture of fuel and air in a pre-chamber, and directing a high velocity jet of air and remaining unburned fuel in fine droplet form from the pre-chamber and into the main combustion chamber wherein the high-velocity jet causes vaporization, ignition and combustion of the remaining unburned fuel in the main combustion chamber.

Abstract: The method comprises a couple of features: (a) late closing of an air intake valve (for a cylinder) to induce a high-velocity, air injection just before closure, and (b) admitting fuel gas into the cylinder via the air intake valve. The valving arrangement comprises a valve and a seat therefore having mating surfaces which substantially effect an initial closure of the valve on the seat at only one side of the valve. As a consequence, a high-velocity jet of air streams into the associated cylinder, via the other, later-closing side of the valve, just before full valve closure. The high-velocity air injection, the same being a purposely-directed, swirl-generating, injection, according to the method or valving arrangement, induces an enhanced air-fuel admixing in the cylinder.
