An ignition device configured to ignite a fuel included in an air-fuel mixture supplied to a main combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The ignition device includes a partition member that forms a precombustion chamber that encloses an ignition point of a fuel. The partition member has a plurality of communicating holes communicating between the main combustion chamber and the precombustion chamber. The ignition device further includes a first interference member that protrudes inward from an inner surface of the partition member.

A rotary engine having an outer body having an internal cavity with a peripheral wall having an insert opening defined therethrough in communication with the internal cavity, and a plurality of coolant passages defined through the peripheral wall in proximity of the insert opening, a rotor body rotatable within the internal cavity, and an insert removably received in the insert opening of the peripheral wall, the insert having a subchamber defined therein communicating with the internal cavity, with a minimum width of the insert opening being at least 0.75 inches. An outer body for a rotary engine and a method of inspecting in an internal cavity in an outer body of a rotary engine are also discussed; also, a rotary engine including a fuel injector having a tip received in the injector hole of the peripheral wall without protruding in the insert opening.

An internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder that has a main combustion chamber for burning a fuel/air mixture or a fuel/air/exhaust gas mixture and has a flushed prechamber connected to the main combustion chamber via at least one overflow duct on the fluid side. At least one exhaust gas turbocharger is provided that has a turbine for the expansion of the at exhaust gas leaving the at least one cylinder and a compressor for compressing fresh air or a fresh air/exhaust gas mixture to be supplied to the at least one cylinder as compressed charge-air. In a charge-air line downstream of the compressor, an extraction point is formed from which a flushing line branches off, via which a partial amount of charge-air of the compressed charge-air for flushing the at least one prechamber can be extracted.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method and a system for implementing the method so as to alleviate the disadvantages of a reciprocating combustion engine and gas turbine when generating power. The invention is based on the idea of arranging a combustion chamber (10) outside a turbine (22) and providing compressed air from serially connected compressors to an air chamber in which the air is heated and then exhausted to the combustion chamber in order to carry out a combustion process supplemented with high pressure steam pulses.

The present invention provides a power device generating greater propelling force and finds that traditional power devices do not include all propelling forces based on the fundamental core propelling force source problem. External pressure is guided to the traditional power devices since the inner speed is higher the outer speed, power consumption for overcoming fluid resistance is high, and mutual contradiction results are obtained. The unique difference between the present invention and general common sense lies in opposite fluid pressure directions; inner fluid channels and outer fluid channels with higher flow speeds are formed to generate pressure differences which guides the fluid pressure to the outside and serve as propelling force, thus the present invention creatively finds three propelling force sources, two lifting force or propelling force sources of helicopters or airplanes driven by propellers and two propelling force sources for sufficient burning of fuel in combustion chambers of engines.
