Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-298294, filed on Nov. 16, 2007. The entire disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-298294 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention generally relates to an internal combustion engine electric discharge structure. More specifically, the present invention relates to an electric discharge structure which discharges non-equilibrium plasma in order to increase a number of radicals and thereby improve autoignition properties of the internal combustion engine.

[0004] 2. Background Information

[0005] An electric discharge device has been proposed for an internal combustion engine in which the air-fuel mixture is ignited in an assisted manner by a sparkplug. In this electric discharge device radicals are generated in a cylinder and the autoignition properties of the air-fuel mixture ...
