The effect of varying the compression ratio of internal combustion engines has been well known for some years. Research engines have been built from time to time with the feature of variable compression ratio. The main difference of this engine from American and British internal combustion engines is that the fuel is injected into the cylinder in the "solid" state and the inlet valve admits only air to the cylinder.
