Abstract
An internal combustion engine with direct fuel injection is disclosed which comprises at least one combustion chamber fitted with a fuel injection valve. A charging electrode is disposed in the combustion chamber near the fuel injection valve and is supplied with a high DC voltage from a voltage source so as to charge the particles of fuel injected from the injection valve and thereby to disperse them.
