Abstract
The present invention aims at effectively emitting an electromagnetic wave to a combustion chamber from an emission antenna in an internal combustion engine that promotes combustion of an air fuel mixture utilizing the electromagnetic wave. The present invention is directed to an internal combustion engine including: an internal combustion engine main body formed with a combustion chamber; and an electromagnetic wave emission device that emits an electromagnetic wave to the combustion chamber from an emission antenna. The internal combustion engine promotes combustion of the air fuel mixture by way of the electromagnetic wave emitted to the combustion chamber. The emission antenna is provided in an insulating member and extends along the partitioning surface. The insulating member is provided on a partitioning surface that partitions the combustion chamber. A ground conductor is provided in the insulating member on a side opposite to the combustion chamber in relation to the emission antenna and is electrically grounded.
