Not a 2Stroke , Not a 4 Stroke .....

But a 6 stroke engine !!!!:confused:

I gotta get me one of those!! That is awsome:macho I can't wait untill they are mass produced.

ahhh wat will they come out wit next a 3 stroke:rolleyes:

[muddy400EX]

thats stupid. they should just stick with 2 stroke and 4 strokes.

i simply cannot figure out the concept of it. even with the short video on www.sixstroke.com :(

kinda impossible.....

there actually is 3 stroke engines, i'll see if i can remember where that post was before. its like a triangle shaped piston and i believe they called it a rotary engine. the 6 stroke pretty much is based with no valves. so you have 4 strokes with the bottom compression piston just like a regular 4 stroke but instead of valves it goes with a "release" piston that has 2 strokes. add them up and you have a 6 stroke engine.

rotary "3 stroke" engine

here's a site for the engine. http://travel.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine4.htm

thanks for the post wired...might help me out a little bit since i'm goin into mechanical engineering :eek:

why not keep persuing the quest for new and better technology? its not like the motors today are perfectly built :blah:

wow thats pretty weird, i really didnt think 3 stroke was possible

guess you proved me wrong:p

The rotary engine isn't really a "3-stroke" engine. In fact, I would say it doesn't really have "strokes" at all.

The reason 4-strokes and 2-strokes are called the way is because it takes 4 piston strokes to complete the thermal cycle, and likewise a 2-stroke completes the cycle in 2 piston strokes.

The rotary engine doesn't really have "strokes". Instead, the piston is triangular and it revolves. As it revolves, is performing 3 thermal cycles at once, all it different stages. The exhaust of one thermal cycle happens with the intake of another. The compression and combustion, normally 2 strokes in a piston motor, happen at the same time as a single intake/exhaust "stroke". So it seems that the rotary engine has only 3 strokes, and this is also enhanced becuase there are 3 thermal cycles happening at once. But if you analyze it, the rotary engine still has an intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust.

what kinda fuel would a 6 stroke run on? just ur basic 4 stroke gas?

EDIT: ment 6 stroke.. whoops

Sure, why not?

The reason 2-strokes need pre-mix oil is because the fuel/air passes through the crankcase first, so the oil is needed to lubricate the crank. If it doesn't go through the crank, it doesn't need the oil, and it can just use regular gas.

Deisel is a little different. The design of a deisel engine allows it to run a much lower-grade fuel, and some designes can even run on peanut oil. But you can design a deisel engine to run on regular 89 octane fuel just like any standard 4-stroke engine.
