The pis<strong>to</strong>n has a generally semi-<strong>to</strong>roidal depression in its upper surface (see Fig.4, Fig.5 and Fig.11) and carries<br />

a conductive discharge point 85 of copper, brass or bronze generally along the axis of the chamber. When the<br />

pis<strong>to</strong>n is generally extended, the discharge point is a substantial distance from the electrodes. But when the<br />

pis<strong>to</strong>n is in its upper position (see Fig.11), the discharge point is positioned generally between all four electrodes<br />

and close <strong>to</strong> them, there being gaps between the electrodes and the discharge point. When the pis<strong>to</strong>n is in this<br />

upper position, the electrodes extend somewhat in<strong>to</strong> the semi-<strong>to</strong>roidal depression in the pis<strong>to</strong>n's upper surface<br />

and the chamber is generally <strong>to</strong>roidal in shape. The volume of the chamber shown in Fig.11 can be from<br />

approximately 6.0 cubic inches (100 cc) or larger. Given the present state of the art, 1500 cubic inches (25,000<br />

cc) appears <strong>to</strong> be the upper limit. A plurality of ports 87 and one-way valves 89 return working fluid which<br />

escapes from the chamber back in<strong>to</strong> it, so long as a sealing system such as bellows 45 is used.<br />

An alternative cylinder head/pis<strong>to</strong>n arrangement is shown in Fig.12. The main difference between this<br />

arrangement and that of Fig.5 is that the chamber walls, here labelled 43' are integrally formed with the head. As<br />

a result seals 57 are carried by the pis<strong>to</strong>n rather than by the head, the attachment of bellows 45 is somewhat<br />

different, and the fluid-returning valves and ports are part of the pis<strong>to</strong>n rather than of the head. Otherwise these<br />

arrangements are substantially the same. Preferably, the cylinders of both arrangements are hermetically sealed.<br />

An additional embodiment of a cylinder head/pis<strong>to</strong>n arrangement used in the present invention is shown in<br />

Fig.12A. In this arrangement, a tapered sleeve 17C mates between cylinder head 17 and pis<strong>to</strong>n 39, a plurality of<br />

seals 57 are provided, and electrodes 67 and 69 have a somewhat different shape. Also, in this embodiment, a<br />

chamber 90 is provided in cylinder head 17 for s<strong>to</strong>ring additional working fluid, i.e., the purpose of chamber 90 is<br />

<strong>to</strong> extend the operating time between refuelling by circulating the working fluid, viz. the mixture of inert gases<br />
