SIX STROKE

ENGINE

What is a SIX-STROKE
engine???
The SIX-STROKE engine is a type of an
internal combustion engine based on
four stroke engine,but with additional
features intended to make it more
efficient by reducing emissions
There are two power strokes ,one with
fuel and the other with steam or air

The Different approaches used in SIXSTROKE engines

FIRST APPROACH
Two additional strokes using the same main piston

SECOND APPROACH
It uses a second opposed piston which moves at half
the cyclical rate of the main piston

Types of SIX-STROKE engines

First category ( According to the first
approach)
1.
2.
3.
4.

Griffin six-stroke Engine

Bajulaz six-stroke Engine
Crower six-stroke Engine
Velozeta six-stroke Engine

Second category (According to the

second approach)
5. Beare Head six-stroke Engine
6. Charge pump Engine

Working
In a SIX-Stroke Engine when the
temperature reaches approximately 400
F, just before the fifth Stroke fresh water
is injected directly into the hot
combustion chamber through the engines
fuel injector pump.
This injected water is quickly turned into
super heated steam, this causes the
water to expand to 1600 times of its
volume and so it forces the piston
downwards and creates an additional
power stroke.

ADVANTAGES
Simpler and less expensive
manufacturing and tooling
Theres almost 40% reduction in fuel
consumption
Extracts work from heat that is ordinarily
lost through the cooling system of a
conventional engine
Reduces Exhaust emissions
Steam strokes cools the engine internally
hence much higher compression ratios

Limitations and obstacles

Injecting relatively cold water onto
a hot metal piston can damage it
over time, from thermal
expansions and contractions
A separate water tank with
sufficient water should be installed
Anti-freezing measures should be
done in the water reservoir

Conclusion
Its been time for us to think of something beyond the
conventional engines that pollute Nature. The six-stroke
engine fits perfectly into this view. Its adoption by the
automobile industry would have a tremendous impact on
the environment and world economy, assuming up to
40% reduction in fuel consumption and 60% to 90% in
polluting emissions, depending on the type of the fuel
being used.
