Introduction of 6-stroke engine The 6-stroke engine is a clever invention that has the potential to improve engine efficiency by about 30%. Many people are constantly looking for answers to these questions as fossil fuels become increasingly expensive to manufacture and use. The 6-stroke engine is trying to solve some of these problems by utilizing the heat normally lost in a four-stroke engine. Use more pumps to produce more torque and power. In the figure below, the conventional 4-stroke and 6-stroke are compared using the Yamaha TT 500c.
The 6 stroke engine was invented in 1883. In the conventional cylinder, four 6-stroke pistons (Griffin 6 stroke, Bajulaz 6 stroke, Velozeta 6 stroke and Crower 6 stroke) are used, each three crankshafts rotate one revolution. These systems capture the wasted heat of the 4-stroke Otto cycle by injecting air or water. The original internal combustion engine did not have a compression mixture. The first part of the lower stroke of the piston draws in the mixture, then the inlet valve closes and the mixture burns in the remainder of the descending stroke. When the stroke of the piston rises, the exhaust valve opens. These attempts to mimic the principle of steam engines are inefficient. There are many variations in these cycles, most notably Atkinson and Miller cycles. Diesel cycle is somewhat different
The term internal combustion engine generally refers to variants such as engines where the combustion is intermittent, such as the more well known four-stroke and two-stroke piston engines, as well as six-stroke piston engines and one-kel rotary engines. The second type of internal combustion engine uses continuous combustion: gas turbines, jet engines, and most rocket engines, each of which is an internal combustion engine whose principle is the same as above. Guns are also a form of internal combustion engines
A four-stroke engine has one intake stroke every two engine revolutions. However, in the case of a 6-stroke engine, the intake stroke is rotated once per 3 engines. In order to keep the heat of combustion per unit time constant, the heat of combustion delivered in the 6 stroke cycle should be 3 or 2 times greater than the combustion heat of a 4-stroke engine. There are many ways to compare the performance of a 4-stroke engine with that of a 6-stroke engine. In this paper I chose to compare thermal efficiency or SFC with the same output power. If the thermal efficiency of the two engines is the same, the same output can be obtained with the same heat of combustion.
