Direct injection into open chambers of Diesel- and S.I.- Engines is considered by the experts of automotive engineering worldwide as the best way for future economy and ecology engines [1]. Beside of the best fuel saving passenger cars driven by Diesel engines, advanced Diesel like Stratified Charge Engines as the CCSC (Controlled Combustion Stratified Charge) and the MESC (Mixture Exhaust Stratified Charge) -Engines open the way for future developments. Both engines work with the following new elements: Air assisted injection for the formation of the combustible mixture in the small cavities of prechambers, where the load control is achieved by the quantity of the injected fuel without the need of throttling the charge of the main chamber as common in today's SI engines. Pulsed Jet Combustion, where at first in small cavities of prechambers a rich mixture gets ignited.
