An enhanced auto-ignition in a gasoline internal combustion engine, comprises a fuel injector directly communicating with said combustion chamber for spraying gasoline fuel. The fuel injector sprays a first injection quantity of gasoline fuel into a combustion chamber at first fuel injection timing, which falls in a range from the intake stroke to the first half of the compression stroke, thereby to form air / fuel mixture cloud that becomes a body of mixture as the engine piston moves from the first fuel injection timing toward a top dead center position of the compression stroke, and the fuel injector sprays a second injection quantity of gasoline fuel into the body of mixture at second fuel injection timing, which falls in the second half of the compression stroke, forming mixture cloud that is superimposed on a portion of said body of mixture, thereby to establish the cylinder content wherein the density of fuel particles within the superimposed portion is high enough to burn by auto-ignition at an ignition point in the neighborhood of the piston top dead center position of the compression stroke, causing temperature rise and pressure, which initiate auto-ignition of the fuel particles within the remaining portion of said body of mixture.

A direct-injection spark-ignition engine in which a combustible mixture is produced around a spark plug at an ignition point by causing a tumble and a fuel spray to collide with each other in a combustion chamber during stratified charge combustion comprises a fuel pressure controller which controls fuel pressure such that penetration of the fuel spray from a fuel injector is progressively intensified with an increase in engine speed in a stratified charge combustion region and means for controlling fuel injection timing including an injection timing setter. The means for controlling fuel injection timing controls the injection timing in such a way that the interval between a fuel injection ending point and the ignition point becomes progressively shorter as engine speed increases under the same engine load conditions in the stratified charge combustion region.

An improved system and method for ignition of a gaseous or dispersive fuel-oxidant mixture is provided where a gaseous or dispersive fuel-oxidant mixture is supplied to a detonator tube having a fill point and an open end and an igniter placed at an ignition point within the detonator tube is ignited while the gaseous or dispersive fuel-oxidant mixture is flowing through the detonator tube. A detonation impulse is produced at the ignition point that propagates to the open end of said detonator tube where it can be supplied to a detonation tube having an open end, to an internal combustion engine, a combustion chamber, and to a pulse detonation engine.

An ignition system includes a housing defining an interior and an exhaust outlet. The housing is configured and adapted to be mounted to a combustor to issue flame from the exhaust outlet into the combustor for ignition and flame stabilization within the combustor. A fuel injector is mounted to the housing with an outlet of the fuel injector directed to issue a spray of fuel into the interior of the housing. An igniter is mounted to the housing with an ignition point of the igniter proximate the outlet of the fuel injector for ignition within the interior of the housing.

The invention relates a floating entrainment metallurgical process. In this process, the reaction gas and the powdery materials are injected into the reaction furnace, aiming to obtain a controllable highly rotating and floating state and reach the ignition point under the high-temperature radiation of the reaction furnace to combust intensely. Meanwhile, the rotating fluid injected in the reaction furnace will drive the furnace gas, and forms a relatively low-temperature circular backflow protection area around the rotating fluid. The reaction gas is tangentially fed into the rotating generator along numbers of rotary channels to form a controllable rotating airflow, in addition, a conical exit air controller that can be moved up and down is adopted to control the exit area of the rotating generator, thus controlling the velocity of the reaction gas into the reaction furnace; the powdery materials fall freely around the reaction gas and are involved in the high-speed rotating airflow, forming a rotating fluid, of which the powdery materials are highly dispersed into the reaction gas, moving downwards along the radial high-speed rotating axle. For the purpose of this invention, a steplessly adjusted reactor is as well referred to in this invention.

A power generating system and method operating at high pressure and utilizing a working fluid consisting of a mixture of compressed non-flammable air components, fuel combustion products and steam. The working fluid is substantially free of CO and NOx. Fuel and compressed air at an elevated temperature and at a constant pressure are delivered to a combustion chamber, the amount of air being chosen so that at least about 90% of the oxygen in the air is consumed during combustion. The quantity of air and fuel supplied to the combustion chamber may be varied provided a constant fuel to air ratio is maintained. Superheated water is delivered under pressure to the combustion chamber, and is converted substantially instantaneously to steam. The quantity of water delivered is controlled such that the latent heat of vaporization of the water maintains the temperature of the working fluid at a desired level. Heat may be transferred from the working fluid exiting the work engine to the water to heat the water to the desired temperature for delivery to the combustion chamber. The quantity, temperature and pressure of the air, fuel and water introduced in to the combustion chamber are independently controllable. A zoned burner may be employed in which a portion of the compressed air may be mixed with the fuel in a first zone prior to ignition, with the remaining compressed air being added at one or more locations downstream of the point of ignition.

A cartridge munition, particularly practice round, includes a cartridge shell (3) and a projectile (2) inserted into it. A propulsion chamber (4) is provided within the cartridge shell that receives a propulsive charge (5) that may be ignited by means of a pyrotechnic igniter (13) and that develops propulsive gases that act on the base (8) of the projectile, driving it out of the cartridge shell. In order to prevent the pyrotechnic igniter from igniting spontaneously, and from igniting the propulsive charge (5) because of the ambient temperature or because of a fire, which would cause the cartridge shell and projectile to be separated and fly apart, it is proposed by the invention to provide exhaust channels (14) between the propulsion chamber and the exterior of the cartridge shell (3) that are filled with a fusible material, particularly a fusible metal (15). The fusible material has a lower melting point than the ignition point of the igniter (13) and of the propulsive charge (5). If the ambient temperature of the cartridge shell rises above the melting point of the fusible material, it melts, releasing the exhaust channels (14), so that, upon delayed ignition of the propulsive charge, it burns without pressure buildup, and the cartridge shell and projectile remain together.
