Abstract:
A method for compressing gaseous fuel is disclosed, which comprises the steps: a) ingesting gaseous fuel into a chamber; b) ingesting air into the chamber and mixing the gaseous fuel with the air; c) igniting and partially combusting the resulting mixture of gaseous fuel and air in a confined space such that a predominant fraction of the gaseous fuel is not combusted, causing an increased temperature and therefore an increased pressure of the fraction of the gaseous fuel which is not combusted; and d) discharging the resulting compressed gaseous fuel.
