Abstract:

This paper primarily concerns with review of Six Stroke Engine, its architecture, working along with its advantages. The six stroke engine is a combustion engine with six strokes i.e., two additional strokes to the conventional four stroke engines. In additional two strokes, the engine captures the exhausted heat from the four stroke cycle and uses it to get an additional power and exhaust stroke of the piston in the same cylinder. Thereby giving 2/3 Power strokes per revolution as compared to ½ in a Four Stoke Engine Six Stroke Engine has greater thermal efficiency, greater performance and compatibility to various fuels. Further proposals are made for alternate fuels that can be used in the engine to increase its efficiency and reduce emissions. The constant demand for decrease in emissions without any compromise in performance and efficiency is the driving motivation for this paper. Two fuels, Hydrogen and Brown’s Gas are suggested as alternative fuels. The properties of each is explained in brief along with their mechanisms with the help of block diagrams.

Keywords:

Alternative Fuels, Brown’s Gas Hydrogen, Oxyhydrogen (HHO), Six Stroke Engines.
