Definition
Green Engine is a six phase internal combustion engine having a very higher expansion ratio, higher thermal efficiency, with nearly zero emissions, light and small in size, lower cost with a capability of burning various kinds of fuels.

Construction of Green Engine

1) Intake valve 2) Heating chamber valve 3) Combustion chamber valve 4) Exhaust valve 5) Cylinder 6) Combustion chamber 7) Air heating chamber 8) Wall of combustion chamber 9) Fuel injector 10) Spark plug 11) Piston 12) Crankshaft

Working
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Suction Stroke Compression Stroke 1st Power Stroke Exhaust Stroke 2nd Power Stroke Exhaust Stroke

1st Stroke (Suction Stroke)

The intake valve(1) is kept open. Due to cranking, the piston moves downward which results in the formation of a pressure difference due to which pure air enters the cylinder (5). The crankshaft completes rotates for half cycle.

2nd Stroke (Compression Stroke)

The intake valve closes and the heating chamber valve opens. The piston moves upwards due to cranking forcing the pure air into heating chamber. The air at this stage is converted to high pressure.

3rd Stroke (1st Power Stroke)

The combustion chamber valve opens and the gases of combustion enter the cylinder and force the piston downwards. We will get 1st power stroke.

4th Stroke (Exhaust Stroke)

The exhaust valve opens. The piston moves upwards and the exhaust gases are removed via this valve. The crankshaft rotates another half cycle. At this stage the crankshaft completes 2 full cycles.

5th Stroke (2nd Power Stroke)

The heating chamber valve opens and the pure air now at high pressure and high temperature enters the cylinder as shown in the figure which does work on the piston and hence it moves downwards resulting in the 2nd power stroke. The crankshaft completes another half cycle.

th 6
Finally the combustion chamber valve opens the piston moves upwards forcing the pure air into the combustion chamber. The crankshaft will complete 3 full cycles at the end of the 6th stroke.

Stroke

Advantages
Two Power strokes in six strokes: Small Size and light weight: Dramatic reduction in pollution: Liquefied Petroleum Gas: Cost comparable to those of a four-stroke engine:

Applications
1. Like normal engine green engine can be employed in automobiles and in aircrafts too. 2. Engineering applications. 3. Military use. 4. Mines. 5. Electrical Generators. 6. Ships and submarines.

Conclusion
1. Green engine can work with large variety of fuels which makes it good choice for using nonconventional fuels like biodiesel. 2. Pollution is minimized by green engine. 3. Its a new revolutionary engine technology.
