INTRODUCTION
• Bruce Crower uses exhaust energy to add 2
new strokes to 4 stroke engine.
• By injecting water at the end of exhaust, so
that an extra power and exhaust stroke added.
• Engine has some heat energy left in it , which
is not utilized.
• Engine runs on normal 4 stroke engine.
ENGINE
“Engine” originally a term for any mechanical
device that convert force into motion.
An engine is a machine design to convert one
form of energy into mechanical energy.

TYPES
• Internal combustion engine
• External combustion engine
2 STROKE ENGINE

• Suction and Compression

• Power and Exhaust

4 STROKE ENGINE
• Suction

• Compression

• Power

• Exhaust
6 STROKE ENGINE
• The concept of 6 stroke engine developed in mid
20th century when pollution due to the
conventional IC engine increased .

• The six stroke engine “using water” was

developed by Brush Crower in 2006.

• The six stroke engine is based on 4 stroke engine,

but additional two strokes :

1. Secondary power stroke.

2. Secondary exhaust stroke.
SECONDARY POWER STROKE
• At the end of exhaust stroke the cylinder
temperature becomes around 900-1000 °C

• At this stage water is injected by an injector.

• The water is converted into vapour and its

volume increases .
SECONDARY EXHAUST STROKE

• In this stroke the

water vapour is
exhausted by the
upward motion of the
piston.
WORKING OF 6 STROKE ENGINE
• The first four strokes are the same as a 4
stroke internal combustion engine.
• After the exhaust stroke instead of air fuel
mixture(as in case of petrol engine), fresh
air/water is sucked into the cylinder from the
filter and is removed during the sixth stroke.
ADVANTAGES

• Reduction in fuel consumption .

• Two expansions/work power stroke in 6 stroke .
• Reduction in pollution .
• Higher overall efficiency .
• Lower engine temperature .
• Due to more air intake , the cooling system is
improved .
DISADVANTAGES

• Modifications are necessary .

• Chances of entry of water in fuel .

• Engine size increases due to many number of

cylinders and additional components .
COMPARISON
• Lower maintenance costs due to less wearing
parts.

• Increase in thermal energy .

• Longer service intervals possible due to lower

operating temperature recorde .
CONCLUSION
• Six stroke engine have a high efficiency, high
power output and no external cooling system
required over four stroke engine .

• Power output increases .

• Fuel consumption reduces .
