Abstract
An engine includes at least a cylinder that forms a combustion chamber. In accordance with the invention, at least a photovoltaic surface is arranged to become hit by the light produced as a consequence of a combustion that takes place in the combustion chamber. In one embodiment, at least an optical fiber passes through the combustion chamber in such a way as to become irradiated, in use, by the light emitted as a consequence of the combustion that takes place inside the chamber In this embodiment, the photovoltaic panel is arranged externally to the combustion chamber and becomes irradiated by the light transported by the optical fiber after exiting the cylinder.
