Abstract

An internal combustion engine has first and second cylinders 12, 14, the first cylinder 12 having a larger swept volume than the second cylinder and the second cylinder being formed in the crown of the first cylinder. First and second pistons 16, 18 are reciprocable respectively in the first and second cylinders, the second piston being formed as a protrusion on the crown of the first piston. A combustion chamber 20 is formed in the second piston 18 with an air port 44 opening into the first cylinder and a second port 40 opening into the second cylinder. A first inlet is provided 25 for supplying air or the like into the first cylinder 12 during an induction stroke of the first piston together with a fuel inlet for supplying fuel to said second cylinder; A passage extends between the first and second cylinder to enable transfer of air from said first cylinder to said second cylinder other than through said combustion chamber over a preselected angle of movement of the pistons relative to the cylinders for assisting movement of gases from said second cylinder into said combustion chamber. Additional control means for controlling the movement of air is also provided. 24 figs.
