INTRODUCTION PRINCIPAL WORKING ADVANTAGES APPLICATION CONCLUSION

An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert energy into useful mechanical motion. Heat engines, including internal combustion engines and external combustion engines (such as steam engines) burn a fuel to create heat which is then used to create motion. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, pneumatic motors use compressed air and others, such as windup toys use elastic energy. In biological systems, molecular motors like myosins in muscles use chemical energy to create motion.

The six-stroke engine is a type of internal combustion engine based on the four-stroke engine, but with additional complexity to make it more efficient and reduce emissions. First concept of this engine are represent by Malcolm Beare.

The pistons in a six stroke engine goes up and down total six times for each injection of fuel. Designs either use steam or air as the working fluid for the additional power stroke. six-stroke engine with external and internal combustion and double flow is similar to the actual internal reciprocating combustion engine

iii.

Reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40%. Thermal efficiency reaching 50% . Two expansions (work) in six strokes.

IV.

Dramatic reduction in pollution up to 60% to 90% depend upon types of fuel and also reduce a noise pollution.

V.

Cooling system is not required so reduce engine weight.

VI.

The engine can run on a variety of fuels, ranging from diesel to LPG or animal grease.

VII.

Cost comparable to those of a four-stroke engine.

Motorboats might offer a big outlet for this type of engine Furthermore, the use of fuels other than gasoline would greatly reduce the risks of explosion. Motor-pumps, generator sets, stationary engines, etc....intended for agriculture and industry. Many more applications may also be envisaged.

Drastically reducing fuel consumption and pollution without radically affecting performances would allow the current concept of the automobile to be reassessed. There is, at this day, no wonder solution for the replacement of the internal combustion engine. 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.
