What is Six stroke Engine ?

The six stroke engine which having the

same or more power with higher fuel
efficiency than the existing engine has
started before many years. As a result of
all these researches a new engine
concept is formed, which is a six stroke
engine. Lot of research works are
conducting on this topic now a days and
already six stroke engines were discovered .
History of Six Stroke Engine.
The term six stroke engine describes two
different approaches in the internal
combustion engine, developed since the
1990s, to improve its efficiency and reduce
emissions, In the first approach, the
engine captures the waste heat from the
four stroke Otto cycle or Diesel cycle and
uses it to get an additional power and
exhaust stroke of the piston in the same
cylinder. Designs either use steam or air as
the working fluid for the additional power
stroke..

Increased power,
Increased torque,
Fewer, lighter reciprocating
parts,
Simpler manufacture

M4+2
Piston charger engine
single piston designs :-
These designs use a single
piston per cylinder, like a
conventional two- or four-
stroke engine. A
secondary, non-detonating
fluid is injected into the
chamber, and the leftover
heat from combustion
causes it to expand for a
second power stroke
followed by a second
exhaust stroke
The Bajulaz Six Stroke Engine
The Bajulaz Six Stroke Engine was
invented in 1989 by the Bajulaz S A
company, based in Geneva, Switzerland,
The Bajulaz six-stroke engine is similar to a
regular combustion engine in design. There
are modifications to the cylinder head, with
two supplementary fixed capacity
chambers: a combustion chamber and an
air preheating chamber above each
cylinder. The combustion chamber receives
a charge of heated air from the cylinder
Bajulaz Six Stroke Engine :
Crower six stroke
engine:-
This engine is invented by Bruce crower of
california in USA in the year 2004.
Bruce Crower is actually a race car
mechanic with his own workshop. In a six-
stroke engine prototyped in the United
States by Bruce Crower, water is injected
into the cylinder after the exhaust stroke
and is instantly turned to steam, which
expands and forces the piston down for an
additional power stroke.
Crower six stroke engine:-
Velozeta six-stroke engine :-

fresh air is injected into the cylinder during

the exhaust stroke, which expands by heat
and therefore forces the piston down for an
additional stroke. The valve overlaps have
been removed and the two additional
strokes using air injection provide for better
gas scavenging. The engine seems to
show 40% reduction in fuel consumption
and dramatic reduction in air pollution
Velozeta six-stroke
engine :-
Opposed piston Engine.

These designs use two pistons per cylinder

operating at different rates, with detonation
occurring between the pistons.
PISTON CHARGER ENGINE :-
In this engine, a piston charger
replace the valve system, The
piston charger charges the main
cylinder & regulates the inlet &
outlet aperture leading to no loss of
air and fuel in the exhaust, in the
main cylinder, combustion takes
place every turn as in a two stroke
engine & lubrication as in a four
stroke engine, fuel injection takes
place in the piston charger,

Connecting Rod & Cylinder:-
Connecting Rod:
In a reciprocating piston engime, the connecting
rod or conrod connects the piston to the crank or crank
shaft . Together with the crank, they form a simple
mechanism that converts reciprocating motion into
rotating motion.
Cylinder:
A cylinder is the central working part of a reciprocating
engine or pump, the space in which
a piston travels. Multiple cylinders are commonly
arranged side by side in a bank, or engine blocks, which
is typically cast from aluminum, or cast iron before
receiving precision machine work.
ENGINE MODIFICATION :-
To make six-stroke engine
from conventional four-stroke
engine, a few modifications must
be done to specific parts on the
conventional engine to be sure
that the new
engine with six-stroke will run
successfully. A Mitsubishi single
cylinder spark ignition

/crankshaft sprockets
:-
Crank has 1080 degrees of rotation for
360 degrees rotation of camshaft
Hence their corresponding spockets
are having teeth ratio 3:1
34 teeth spocket of camshaft in the
four stroke is replaced by 42 teeth
spocket
17 teeth crankshaft spocket is replaced
by 14 teeth spocket

devided into 60 degrees

 WORKING PRINCIPLE :-
A six stroke engine describes a number of
different approaches in the internal combustion
engine to capture the waste heat from the four
stroke Otto cycle and use it to power an additional
power and exhaust stroke of the piston. Designs
either use steam or air as the working fluid for the
additional power stroke. As well as extracting
power, the additional stroke cools the engine and
removes the need for a cooling system making
the engine lighter and giving 40% increased
efficiency over the Otto Cycle.
First stroke :-
During the first
stroke the inlet
valve opens and
air-fuel mixture from
carburetor is
sucked into the
cylinder through the
inlet manifold .
Second stroke :-

During the
second stroke,
piston moves
from BDC to
TDC, both the
inlet valve and
exhaust valve
are closed and
the air-fuel
mixture is
Third stroke :-

During the third

stroke, power is
obtained from the
engine by igniting
the Compressed
air- fuel mixture
using a spark plug.
Both valves remain
closed. Piston
moves from TDC to
BDC.
Fourth stroke
:-
During the fourth
stroke, the
exhaust valve and
the reed valve
opens to remove
the burned gases
from the engine
cylinder. Piston
moves from BDC
to TDC.
Fifth stroke: -

During the fifth stroke,

the exhaust valve
remains open and the
reed valve closes.
Fresh air from the air
filter enters the
cylinder through the
secondary air
induction line
provided at the exhaust
manifold . The reed
valve opens.
Sixth stroke:-
During the sixth stroke,
the exhaust valve
remains open. The air
sucked into the
cylinder during the fifth
stroke is removed to the
atmosphere through the
exhaust manifold
. The reed valve opens
and the reed valve
closes.
TESTING THE ENGINE :-:-

After applying these modifications on the

engine, a test was carried out to be sure
that the engine can run smoothly with six
stroke instead of four stroke cycles. The
same starter coupled with the engine was
used to start the engine. After two or three
attempts the engine was running smoothly
with six stroke cycles.
Comparison Of Six Stroke Engine
With Four Stroke Engine
 In a six stroke engine the energy
absorption is less because of slower
acceleration of reciprocating parts.
It reduces the weight and complexity of
the engines head by as much as 50%.
Instead of using energy to drive the head.

Torque is increased by 35% and

efficiency increased by the same.
Increased torque and power output.
ADVANTAGES :-`
Reduction in fuel consumption
Dramatic reduction in pollution
normally up to 65%
Lower engine temperature so easy
to maintain the optimum engine
temp. level for better performance
Less friction so , less wear and
tear
The six-stroke engine does not
 Conclusion
In a six stroke engine the energy absorption is
less because of slower acceleration of
reciprocating parts The piston speed of the
upper piston is about a quarter of the main
piston; therefore its service life should be at
least twice that of the main piston.
In the Beare design, per single cylinder, the
number of parts is 15 compared to a four
stroke of approx 40 to 50 parts. Also, to
reduce manufacturing costs the head and
block can be machined in one piece.
