Abstract:
An internal combustion engine includes a combustion chamber defined by a cylinder bore in a cylinder block, a cylinder head and a piston. A groundless barrier discharge plasma igniter including an electrode is embedded in a casing fabricated from a dielectric material and is disposed in a mounting boss. The groundless barrier discharge plasma igniter has a tip portion that protrudes through an opening in the cylinder head into the combustion chamber. A controller having an electrical ground connection to the cylinder head is configured to apply a high frequency electrical pulse to the groundless barrier discharge plasma igniter. An electrical ground path is formed between the mounting boss and the cylinder head. A plurality of plasma discharge streamers is generated on the casing between the tip portion and the mounting boss when the controller applies the high frequency electrical pulse to the groundless barrier discharge plasma igniter.

Claim (Index 17):
The internal combustion engine of  claim 11 , wherein the controller is configured to apply a high-frequency, high-voltage electrical pulse to the groundless barrier discharge plasma igniter comprises the controller configured to apply an electrical pulse having a frequency near 1 megahertz at a voltage in the range of 10-70 kilovolts.
