  • Multi-fuel internal combustion engines and methods for their operation
    Patent number: 10724448
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, an internal combustion engine may be operated by a method including one or more of the steps of passing a first fuel and a second fuel into a combustion chamber of an engine cylinder to form a fuel mixture, and combusting the fuel mixture with a spark plug to translate the piston housed in the engine cylinder and rotate a crank shaft coupled to the piston. The engine cylinder may include a cylinder head and cylinder sidewalls, and the combustion chamber may be defined at least partially by the cylinder head, the cylinder sidewalls, and the piston. The first fuel may include a greater octane rating than the second fuel. The combustion chamber may include an end gas region and a central region, the central region more near to the spark plug than the end gas region.
