Patent ID: 8256390

Claim:
A method of combustion for an internal combustion engine, the method comprising the steps of opening a primary intake valve during a first downward stroke of a piston, wherein the piston is slideably assembled within a combustion chamber, obtaining ambient air via an intake conduit, wherein the primary intake valve governs airflow between the intake conduit and the combustion chamber; closing the primary intake valve and opening a transfer valve during a first upward stroke of the piston, passing air from within the combustion chamber into a transfer conduit, wherein the transfer valve governs airflow between the combustion chamber and the transfer conduit; closing the transfer valve and opening a secondary intake valve during a second downward stroke of the piston, passing air from the transfer conduit to a secondary intake conduit and into the combustion chamber, wherein the secondary intake valve governs airflow between the secondary intake conduit and the combustion chamber; closing the secondary intake valve, whereby all valves remain closed during a second upward, compression stroke of the piston; providing an ignition within the combustion chamber causing combustion; providing a power stroke during a third down downward, power stroke of the piston as a result of the combustion; and opening an exhaust valve during a third upward, exhaust stroke of the piston passing spent gasses from within the combustion chamber into an exhaust conduit, wherein the exhaust valve governs airflow between the combustion chamber and the exhaust conduit.
