Introduction Concept of Six stroke engine Dual fuel Six stroke engine Specifications Comparison Features Performance and economy Conclusion

 A six stroke engine derived its name from the fact

that it is a mixture of two and four stroke engine. This engine is a radical hybridization of two and four stroke engine that the top portion of two stroke engine and the bottom rather the middle section of a four stroke engine.

 This technology is also known as Beare Technology.

This engine got its name due to its construction.

This engine is a radical hybridization of two and four

stroke engines. These types of engines have many advantages compared to OHC four stroke engines.

Reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40% Two expansions(work/Power stroke) in six strokes Dramatic reduction in pollution ( up to 65%) Higher overall efficiency Lower engine temperature & noise level Due to more air intake, the cooling system is improved

Better scavenging and more extraction of work per cycle

Less inertia due to lightness of moving parts

Brake power & indicated power per cycle per

cylinder is comparatively lesser

Engine size increases due to many number of

cylinders & additional components Higher manufacturing cost of six stroke engine

Drastically reducing fuel consumption (by 40%) and pollution (by 60-90%) without radically affecting performances For the dual fuel six-stroke engine, soot & nitrous oxide was practically eliminated by a small amount of methanol in the second combustion process.

It enables lower engine temperature and therefore increases

in the overall efficiency.
