INTRODUCTION
A six stroke engine derived its name
from the fact that it is a mixture of
two and four stroke engine.
This engine is a radical hybridization
of two and four stroke engine that
the top portion of two stroke engine
and the bottom section of a four
stroke engine.

SECOND CATEGORY ENGINE

BEARE HEAD ENGINE

Key attributes of the Beare Head

are:

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

HOW SIX STROKE ENGINE

WORKS

 Below the cylinder head gasket, everything is

conventional,
the Beare concept can be transplanted on to existing
engines without any need for redesigning or retooling
the bottom end.
But the cylinder head and its poppet valves get thrown
away. To replace the camshaft and valves, Beare has
retained the cam drive belt and fitted an ultra shortstroke upper crankshaft complete with piston, which
the belt drives at half engine speed just as it previously
drove the cam.

Working Principle

Fuel ignites with

piston at the top
dead center.

Rotary valve
opens,
allowing
exhaust to
escape

Exhaust
stroke begins
when the
piston is at
bottom dead
center

Exhaust stroke
ends, intake
begins. rotary
valve cuts
exhaust .intake
of charge into
cylinder due to
pressure
difference.

The intake stroke

happens when the
piston is on its
downward path
with theintake
valve open. This
action creates
suction, drawing
atomized fuel in
this case gasoline
mixed with air,
into the
combustion
chamber.

Top piston
nearly closes
complete inlet
port and The
compression
begins.

Combustion
chamber
completely
sealed and ready
for the
combustion.

The power stroke

begins at a critical
moment, just as the airfuel mixture is at its
most compressed. A
supercharged voltage is
delivered to the spark
plugs from the ignition
coil, at that point it
ignites the fuel mixture.
The valves in the
engine are still closed
during this period. Thus
the explosion forces the
piston down to turn the
engine's crankshaft,
delivering the power
via the gearbox and
clutch to the driving
wheels.

FIRST CATEGORY ENGINE

CROWER ENGINE

This engine was developed by

Bruce Crower
This engine works exactly like
the 4-stroke engine
After the fourth stroke, water is
injected into the cylinder
The water gets evaporated and
creates another power stroke
The water gets expanded 1600
times due to the internal
pressure

SPECIFICATION OF SIX STROKE ENGINE

PROTOTYPE 5 - DUCATI BASED

Comparison Of Six Stroke Engine

With Four Stroke Engine

ADVANTAGES
Reduction in fuel consumption by at least 40%
Two expansions(work/Power stroke) in six strokes
Dramatic reduction in pollution ( up to 65%)
Higher overall efficiency
Lower engine temperature & noise level
Due to more air intake, the cooling system is improved
Better scavenging and more extraction of work per cycle
Less inertia due to lightness of moving parts

DISADVANTAGES
Brake power & indicated power per cycle per cylinder is
comparatively lesser
Engine size increases due to many number of cylinders &
additional components
Higher manufacturing cost of six stroke engine

APPLICATIONS
Automobiles, heavy goods, construction-site and farm
vehicles.
motor-pumps, generator sets, stationary engines,
etc....intended for agriculture and industry.
Motorboats

CONCLUSION
Drastically reducing fuel consumption (by 40%) and
pollution (by 60-90%) without radically affecting
performances
For the dual fuel six-stroke engine, soot & nitrous oxide was
practically eliminated by a small amount of methanol in the
second combustion process.
It enables lower engine temperature and therefore increases
in the overall efficiency.
