Abstract
A mixture-compression internal combustion engine has an auxiliary chamber opening into the combustion space via an injection duct, to which is allocated an ignition unit. In order to provide secure, rapid and large volume ignition of the fuel/air mixture, several auxiliary chambers open into the combustion space and the injection duct of a first auxiliary chamber is directed towards the injection duct of a further auxiliary chamber. Starting from the ignition unit allocated to the first auxiliary chamber the fuel/air mixture in the combustion space is ignited, and starting from the first auxiliary chamber, the mixture is ignited sequentially in the other auxiliary chambers.
