A REVIEW ON BASICS OF SIX STROKE ENGINE

Abstract

In Six Stroke Engine the power obtained is twice in a cycle of six strokes. This type of engine generates more power with higher fuel efficiency. Consequently, a new engine theory is formed, which is a six stroke IC engine. A Lot of research work has been conducted on this topic. In a typical four stroke engine, Piston moves up and down two times in the cylinder for one rotation of crank. The power is obtained one time among the two cycles that generates the torque. In Six stroke engine the power stroke is obtained two times out of six strokes. The automobile industry is now looking forward to manufacture the six stroke engine with the best design which adds one more power stroke which results in more efficiency and better consumption of the fuel. The main advantages of six stroke engines are two power strokes in the six stroke cycle, diminution in fuel consumption by at least 40%, remarkable reduction in pollution, adaptability of Multi fuel, reduction in chemical, noise and thermal pollution. Development of Six stroke engines by the automobile industry would have a tremendous impact on the environment and economy.
