In our previous reports based on computational experiments and fluid dynamic theory, we proposed a new compressive combustion principle for an inexpensive, lightweight, and relatively quiet engine reactor that has the potential to achieve incredible thermal efficiency over 60% even for small combustion chambers having less than 100 cc. This level of efficiency can be achieved with colliding supermulti-jets that create complete air insulation to encase burned gas around the chamber center, thereby avoiding contact with the chamber walls, including the piston. We originally developed an actual prototype engine system for gasoline. The engine has a strongly-asymmetric double piston and the supermulti-jets colliding with pulse, although there are no poppet valves. The number of jets pulsed for intake and exhaust is eight, while both of bore and stroke are about 40mm.
