An internal combustion engine comprising a combustion chamber and an accumulation chamber which are interconnected to each other via an accumulation valve. The accumulation chamber is filled with catalyzer pellets for reforming the combustible mixture accumulated in the accumulation chamber. The accumulation valve is opened during the compression stroke. In the first half of the compression stroke, a jet of the reformed combustible mixture is spouted into the combustion chamber from the accumulation chamber to create a strong swirl motion in the combustion chamber. In the latter half of the compression stroke, the combustible mixture in the combustion chamber flows into the accumulation chamber where the combustible mixture accumulates under high pressure, and the mixture is then spouted into the combustion chamber at the next cycle, from the accumulation chamber.
