Patent ID: 8056541

Claim:
An internal combustion engine comprising: a plurality of cylinders of predetermined dimension; a cylinder head having a cylinder head opening; said cylinder head opening allowing the by-products of combustion to be exhausted; a plurality of pistons; said pistons being encased by the cylinders; wherein said pistons will travel within the cylinders during operation of the internal combustion engine; a plurality of poppet valves; said poppet valves having a stem and a flanged portion; wherein said poppet valves will open and close during the operation of the internal combustion engine; wherein only one of said poppet valves is provided per cylinder; wherein a portion of each poppet valve is mated to an opening in the cylinder head; electromagnetic means for operating the plurality of poppet valves; wherein the operation of opening and closing of the poppet valves is determined based on predetermined factors; wherein the means for operating the plurality of poppet valves act independently of each other; a means for igniting the fuel; wherein a portion of the means to ignite the fuel is place in the cylinder head; an air and fuel mixing chamber having means to inject a predetermined amount of fuel and air into the cylinder is provided; wherein an air injector is mounted on the air and fuel injector mixing chamber; wherein a fuel injector is mounted on the air and fuel injector mixing chamber; wherein the air and fuel injector mixing chamber is secured to a portion of the cylinder surface; wherein the air and fuel mixing chamber is mounted in the lower portion of the cylinder wall substantially one third of the distance above the position of the piston at bottom dead center of the combustion cycle; wherein the input of air and fuel through the air and fuel injection mixing chamber is based on predetermined factors; wherein a predetermined amount of fuel and air is provided through the air and fuel injector mixing chamber; wherein a means to shut off the fuel supply to a cylinder is provided; said pre-determined amount of fuel and air is injected into the cylinder when the poppet valve is mated to the surface of the cylinder head.
