Abstract

Powdered fuel charges are injected mechanically into a pocket in the piston during a first half of a compression stroke for subsequent expulsion into the combustion chamber during the second half of the compression stroke. The dosing and ejecting means is mounted in the cylinder wall and includes a plunger which ejects the fuel charges from a duct. Movement of the plunger in the duct is cyclically blocked by a slider during filling of the duct with a fuel charge.
