NEED OF SIX STROKE ENGINE

In six stroke IC engine having two power strokes

during the operation.
Compared to four stroke engine, its having the higher
efficiency, because of the two power strokes in that.
By using of that, thermal efficiency is also a higher one.
Then its having the less noise, pollutants and fuel
reduction compared to the four stroke engine.

PARTS OF SIX STROKES

1.Intake valve
2.Heating chamber valve
3.Combustion chamber valve
4.Exhaust valve
5. Cylinder
6. Combustion chamber
7. Air heating chamber
8. Wall of combustion chamber
9. Fuel injector
10. Heater plug

WORKING OF SIX STROKES

In six stroke internal combustion engine, pure
air is intake into the cylinder during the first
stroke. During second stroke, compressed air
is enter into the heating chamber.

while in third stroke (power stroke), release of

combustion gases takes place. In fourth stroke,
combustion gases exhausted.

During fifth stroke (power stroke), pure air is

released into the cylinder from air heating
chamber. Finally recompression of pure air is
takes place in heating chamber during the sixth
stroke.

DESIGN AND FUNCTION:

With the six-stroke cycle, the two
supplementary chambers allow parallel
function from which results a full eightevent cycle.
Two four-event-each cycles, an external
combustion cycle and an internal
combustion cycle

The first cycle of four events is of external

combustion.
The second cycle of four events is of internal
combustion.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO
INCREASED THERMAL EFFICIENCY
After intake, air is compressed in the heating
chamber and heated through 720 degrees of
crankshaft angle, 360 degrees of which in
closed chamber (external combustion)
The transfer of heat from the very thin walls of
the combustion chamber to the air heating
chambers lowers the temperature and pressure
of the gases on expansion and exhaust (internal
combustion).

REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION AND

POLLUTANT EMISSIONS:

Distribution of the work: two expansions

(power strokes) over six strokes, or a third
more than the in a four-stroke engine.
Elimination of the exhaust gases crossing
with fresh air on intake. In the six strokeengine, intake takes place on the first stroke
and exhaust on the fourth stroke.
Less inertia due to the lightness of the moving
parts.

TWO EXPANSIONS (WORK) IN SIX

STROKES:
Since the work cycles occur on two strokes 8%
more than in a four-stroke engine, the torque is
much more even.
This leads to very smooth operation at low speed
without any significant effects on consumption and
the emission of pollutants.
The combustion not being affected by the engine
speed. These advantages are very important in
improving the performance of car in town traffic.

DRAMATIC REDUCTION IN POLLUTION:

Chemical, noise and thermal pollution are

reduced, on the one hand, in proportion to
the reduction in specific consumption.
The engines own characteristics which
will help to considerably lower HC, CO
and NOX emissions.

COST COMPARABLE TO THOSE OF A

FOUR-STROKE ENGINE:
The six-stroke engine does not require any
basic modification to the existing engines. All
technological experience and production
methods remain unaltered.
The cost of the modification to the cylinder
head is balanced by the simplification of
several elements, particularly by the lightening
of the moving parts.

Comparison Chart

ADVANTAGES
Reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40%
Thermal efficiency reaching 50%. (30% for the
actual internal combustion engines)
Reduction of chemical, noise and thermal
pollution.
Cars equipped with the six-stroke engine will have
fuel consumption
and a polluting emission significantly reduced

CONCLUSION:
Reducing fuel consumption and pollution
without radically affecting performances would
allow the current concept of the automobile.
Only improvements of the current technology
can help it progress within reasonable time and
financial limits. The six-stroke engine fits
perfectly into this view.
