ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus useful in simultaneously enhancing the fuel consumption efficiency of an ICE, with concomitant enhancement of the power delivered by the engine, and reduction of undesirable exhaust emissions. One embodiment of the method of this invention includes the steps of introducing a fuel/air mixture to the main combustion chamber of the ICE, providing a flame front pre-combustion system which enhances the timely delivery of multiple flame fronts to specific locations within the main combustion chamber for substantial spontaneity of ignition and combustion of the fuel/air mixture disposed within the combustion chamber when the crankshaft is within about 5 degrees nearer top dead center (TDC) than the timing established by a standard operation map for the ICE in question and which employs a conventional spark plug disposed within the combustion chamber. Such combustion continues over that time period during which the crankshaft travels at least past TDC and into its power stroke.
