Adiabatic internal combustion engine
An adiabatic internal combustion engine is described comprising a cylinder having a piston movably disposed therein, means for admitting air and fuel to the cylinder to be combusted therein and means for discharging the combustion gases therefrom, the cylinder including a piston guide and seal structure having stationary seal rings associated therewith and, the cylinder having an inner wall structure of a highly temperature resistant material and the piston having a guided piston section adapted to move back and forth through the guide and seal structure and a cap of highly temperature resistant material, the cap being disposed on top of the guided piston section and extending sufficiently high to provide for the desired compression ratio and the cap further having cylindrical side walls slightly spaced from the cylinder walls.
