Stroke Engine:
The currently notable designs in this class are the
Bajulaz engine by the Bajulaz S.A. company of
Switzerland, at 1989
Crower six-stroke engine, invented by Bruce Crower
of the U.S. at 2004

SIX STROKE ENGINE EXPLANATION:

During 1st and 2nd stroke, the air the combustion chamber (6) can receive
injection of fuel and ignition is triggered.

1st stroke :Intake of air in cylinder(5).

Valve (1) is open.

2nd stroke : Compression of air in the

heating chamber(7) .Valve (2) is open.

During 3rd and 4th stroke the temperature of the pure compressed
air in the heating chamber is raised sharply by heat exchange from
combustion chamber.

3rd stroke: power stroke (work) .Release

of combustion gases in the cylinder.
Valve(3) is open.

4th stroke: exhaust of the combustion

gases.
Valve (4) is open.

5th stroke: Power stroke(work)

Release of pure gas in the cylinder.

6th stroke: Recompression of pure into

the combustion chamber.

CROWERS SIX STROKE ENGINE

In a six-stroke engine
developed in the U.S.
by Bruce Crower, fresh
water is injected into the
cylinder after the exhaust
stroke, and is quickly turned
to superheated steam,
which causes the water to
expand to 1600 times its
volume and forces the
piston
down
for
an
additional stroke.

VELOZETA SIX STROKE ENGINE:

The first four strokes are

the same as a four stroke

internal combustion
engine . After the exhaust
stroke, instead of air/fuel
mixture ( as in case of
petrol engines) fresh air is
sucked into the cylinder
from the air filter, and
which is removed during
the sixth stroke.

six stroke engine :

ADVANTAGES:
Thermal efficiency reaching 50%. (30% for the actual
internal combustion engines)

Fuel consumption reduced by more than 40%.

Reduction of chemical, noise and thermal pollution.

Two expansions (work) through six strokes.

Direct injection and optimal fuel combustion at every

engine speed.
Multiple fuel, etc...

FUTURE SCOPE:
Motorboats (inboard and outboard engines) might

offer a big outlet for this type of engine.

It tends to imagine us the 18tn wheeler truck with light
weight radiator
Using non-fossil fuels of vegetable origin, natural
gases and others, in motor-pumps, generator sets,
stationary engines, etc....intended for agriculture and
industry.
Many more applications may also be envisaged.

CONCLUSION:
Billions of explosion engines are running
worldwide at this time, and this era is not about to end.
It is commercially obvious that the big market is for
automobile, heavy goods, construction-site and farm
vehicles.
When six stroke engine is going to used in
automobile sector it will lead to a revolution in the
history of automotive industry. This is a priority for the
six-stroke engine
