Abstract

Internal combustion engines have been developed having regeneration mechanisms for increasing efficiency and reducing emissions. Previous regeneration mechanisms have been complicated and costly. The present invention provides a simple regeneration member which is attached within a piston assembly. Thus the apparatus for attaching the regeneration member within the internal combustion engine greatly reduces the cost of the engine.
