Abstract
A reformer for obtaining a reformed gas containing H.sub.2 and/or CO from an ordinary fuel exemplified by a petroleum fuel, having a reaction chamber in the form of a combustion chamber of a compression-ignition internal combustion engine, preferably with a swirl-producing auxiliary chamber, and a piston adapted to compress the fuel usually together with air at a compression ratio ranging from about 14 to about 20 in order to initiate and sustain a reforming reaction by the heat of adiabatic compression.
