Abstract
An internal combustion engine is designed to run on natural gas and utilize the diesel cycle. To promote combustion, a mixing chamber is dispersed within a combustion chamber formed between the piston and cylinder. The chamber includes a pair of concentric housings, the innermost of which receives fuel from the injector and provides a rich mixture in the volume between the housings.
