Abstract:
1. A compression-ignition internal combustion engine in which fuel is injected by an injector into a combustion chamber in which gas provided to a reaction with fuel is present in compressed form, and the fuel is compressed and ignited, the compression-ignition internal combustion engine comprising: at least one antenna in the combustion chamber, and wherein when charged particles and moisture or the gas provided to the reaction with fuel in the combustion chamber are present, a microwave electromagnetic wave is emitted by the at least one antenna in a space in which the charged particles and the gas provided to the reaction with the fuel are present, and wherein plasma is generated in the space by feeding energy to the charged particles, and wherein the microwave electromagnetic wave is emitted using the antenna when fuel is injected by the injector, a strong electric field is formed in a space near the fuel jet flow, and energy is fed to the charged particles in the space near the fuel jet flow, whereby plasma is generated in the space.
