Abstract
Disclosed herein is an internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder, a piston reciprocal in the cylinder, an accumulation chamber, a supply conduit which includes a valve and which communicates between the cylinder and the accumulation chamber for supplying pressure gas from the cylinder to the accumulation chamber in response to piston reciprocation to thereby accumulate pressure gas in the accumulation chamber, a discharge conduit which includes a valve and which communicate between the accumulation chamber and the cylinder and is operative to selectively mix pressure gas from the accumulation chamber with fuel under pressure and to discharge the resultant fuel/gas mixture into the cylinder, and a fuel injector adapted to communicate with a source of fuel and operative to supply fuel under pressure to the discharge conduit at a pressure sufficient to open the valve in the discharge conduit and to mix pressure gas from the accumulation chamber with the fuel under pressure and discharge the resultant fuel/gas mixture into the cylinder.
