Abstract
A vehicle engine includes a cylinder block, a cylinder head installed at an upper portion of the cylinder block and forming a combustion chamber therein, a piston installed at the cylinder block and reciprocating in the cylinder block so that the volume of the combustion chamber is compressed or expanded, an injector installed at the cylinder head for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber, a spark plug installed at the cylinder head for igniting the fuel injected from the injector, and a voltage generating member installed inside the piston so that a voltage is generated by a pressure generated during a compression stroke of the piston.
