Abstract

Verbrennungsmotor mit mindestens einem Zylinder, bei dem die Verbrennung eines im Zylinder durch einen Kolben komprimierten homogenen Kraftstoff-Luft-Gemisches durch eine zeitlich gesteuerte Fremdzündung eingeleitet wird, wobei das Kraftstoff-Luft-Verhältnis des Kraftstoff-Luft-Gemisches im Brennraum (25) größer als 1,9 ist und zur zeitlich gesteuerten Fremdzündung mindestens eine Laserlichtquelle (10), mindestens eine optische Übertragungseinrichtung (11) und mindestens eine Einkopplungsoptik (12) zum Fokussieren von Laserlicht in einen Brennraum (25) vorgesehen sind.

Figure 00000001
Internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder, in which the combustion of a compressed in the cylinder by a piston homogeneous fuel-air mixture is initiated by a timed spark ignition, wherein the fuel-air ratio of the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber (25) larger is at least one laser light source (10), at least one optical transmission device (11) and at least one coupling-in optics (12) for focusing laser light into a combustion chamber (25) are provided for time-controlled spark ignition.
