ABSTRACT:
Uptil now, mainly three types of engines running on otto cycle were developed , namely 2-stroke, 4-stroke and the rotary engines. However rotary engines were not widely used due to its disadvantage. Thus, for over hundred years the basic working concept of 2 and 4 stroke engines has remained same with some minor improvements.
The latest breakthrough in this field is the concept of a “SIX – STROKE” engine. The brain-child of an ordinary Australian automobile enthusiast wheat farmer, may provide for a path to achieve greater output from the engine, in today’s world of fast depleting natural resources. His concept of a fusion of 2- stroke and a 4- stroke operations within the same cylinder of an engine is surely a promising one. This could be a stepping stone for researchers to carry out further developments in this extremely competitive field.
