6 stroke engine...?

[regal8r 5,000+ posts]

for those of u that know the basic mechanics of an engine, u will understand this. http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060227/FREE/302270007/1023/THISWEEKSISSUE . basically what this guy has done is add 2 more strokes to the conventional 4 stroke engine. for those of u that dont like to read much....cliffnotes:

it starts out with the 4 basic strokes (intake, compression, power and exhaust) but after the exhaust stroke there is a second 'power' stroke with is called the steam stroke by the article. what it does is injects water in the cylinder which then immediately turns to steam, forcing the piston down. what this does is eliminates the need for an auxilary cooling system, but it also cuts fuel consumption by 40% and even reduces emissions.

Hmm, that would mean you would need a stainless steel exhaust and head... Expensive.

And the motor would have to be hot enough to turn the water to steam...

Okay, I'll read the article.

the motor doesnt have to be hot, 'fresh' exhaust temperatures are hot enough to instantly vaporize water that is already atomized from being injected into the cylinder

that is awesome and me being one that drives 60 miles one way to work the better fuel rate makes me smile but the down side is of course the need for stainless steel components

Did you see that South Park about the Hybrids. The "smug" will take over the world.
