This is not a 6 stroke engine.A stroke is when the piston travels from the top of the cylinder to the bottom or vice versa. In a 4 stroke engine, a complete cycle takes place is four strokes of the piston (2 revolutions of the crankshaft) and produces power every four. In this engine the cycle takes place in 2 strokes of the piston producing power every two strokes, so it is a 2 stroke engine. It is highly advanced and probably very efficient, but it is not a six stroke.
@marklandynut True...however, because it functions like a 4 stroke with a charging piston, technically it's a 6 stroke.....hang on, because the charging piston is working from the crank and traveling almost in tandem with the power piston..one could say it is an 8 stroke....
Regardless, in the end it's done to circumvent a restriction on 2 stroke petrol engines for automotive use, while incorporating the advantages of both a 2 and 4 stroke engines.
@gooseknack Actually, it does not function like a 4 stroke at any level. A stroke is the travel of the piston from one end of its stroke to the other. One complete cycle takes place over 2 strokes (one rev), hence it is a 2 stroke. If you look at real 6 stroke engines you will see one cycle takes 3 crank revs or 6 strokes of the piston. However, I do agree it has 6 stages to a cycle, and these are split over two cylinders, so it is actually a 6 stage 2 stroke split cycle engine. And thats unique
0:23 that looks like a vw engine

In the trabi land you can not sell a two stroke engine
so you must invent four strokes
and name it six stroke engine
don`t worry be happy
trial engine,patents and know how to be sold for two million Dollar

@6stroker
You have one of the best designs out there.
I suggest you make small engine prototypes and sell.
The smaller the better. Make small motors for bicycles and mopeds.
The big autos don't want to change.
