Abstract:
A compression auto-ignition engine 1 that switches between an auto-ignition operation in which a mixed gas is subjected to compression ignition, and a spark-ignition operation in which a discharge means is used to forcibly ignite the mixed gas, the compression auto-ignition engine comprising a radical generation means 2 that generates radicals in a combustion chamber during the auto-ignition operation, and a discharge means 3 that generates a dielectric breakdown in the combustion chamber during the spark-ignition operation, and a control device 4 being configured to use the discharge means 3 as the radical generation means 2 by oscillating electromagnetic waves of output that generates plasma in a discharge gap 6, the plasma being at or below the minimum ignition energy at which the mixed gas will not be ignited.
