Six Stroke Engine
One of the most difficult & challenges in engine technology today is the urgent
need to increase engine thermal efficiency. The 4-strokes employed are intake
stroke ,compression stroke, expansion stroke & exhaust stroke. In the addition to
these 4- strokes, this invention adds a secondary process having two additional
stroke for scavenging the combustion chamber with fresh air. This additional two
stroke scavenging process employs a fresh air intake stroke and a fresh air
exhaust stroke to expel remaining gases.
Intake stroke which introduces only air into the compression chamber.
Exhaust stroke in which the remaining gas in the combustion chamber is
scavenged which otherwise , during the subsequent compression stroke
inhibit the propagation of flame through the charge mixture due to residual
gases. In this apparatus, cam shaft of the IC engine is provided with the
additional lobe on each cam which is rotated at a rate of one-third that of
the crankshaft to that one complete cycle of the first process and second
process is performed on every three revolution of the crankshaft.
Thus we have the intake cam & exhaust cam. The intake stroke of the first process
and intake air of the second scavenging process achieved by separate lobes of the
intake cam. And exhaust stroke of the first process and exhaust air stroke of the
scavenging process are performed by separate lobes of the exhaust cam.
