Abstract

A combined-action engine consists of a rotary triangular cylinder engine that is modified to operate using natural gas as fuel. A combustion chamber is connected to the engine's exhaust gases, and within this chamber is an ignition device optimized for igniting hydrocarbons in the engine's exhaust. The ignition timing and air-fuel ratio are controlled to produce a sufficient amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust gases for combustion without the need for additional fuel or air. A controlled ignition device ignites the exhaust gases at a predetermined time.
