Internal combustion engine/generator with pressure boost

An internal combustion engine having improved performance and efficiency during its compression and power strokes, comprising:

• at least one cylinder with a piston moveable coaxially within said cylinder;
• said piston having at least one cam follower;
• said piston moveable within said cylinder in said compression stroke and said piston capable of dwelling at a predetermined position near the top of the stroke;
• an endless cam track engaging said at least one cam follower;
• said cam track being configured to permit independent movement and acceleration of said piston during said compression and power strokes based upon at least one parameter;
• said cylinder capable of increasing pressure therein by combusting an air and fuel mixture to initiate said power stroke, whereby the combustion of said air and fuel mixture drives said piston and said cam follower;
• said cylinder capable of introducing a rapidly expanding medium comprising liquid water during combustion, whereby said medium transforms into an increased-volume gas during combustion to further increase the pressure within said cylinder, reducing temperature within said cylinder, and providing additional power for said power stroke;
• and
• said piston capable of having its position released based upon the at least one parameter, whereby said piston initiates said power stroke;
• wherein the at least one cylinder with a piston moveable coaxially within said cylinder includes two cylinders with a piston moveable coaxially within each said cylinder, wherein the pistons move opposite one another during their respective power strokes.
