Abstract

The requirement for the advancement of internal combustion (IC) engines and enhance methods for the combustion cycle is increasing day by day. The four-stroke combustion engine is extensively used due to better fuel economy and less exhaust smoke. However, the major drawback includes a considerable amount of extra heat energy generation that directly adds up to waste energy. In order to overcome the limitation, the idea of computing two extra strokes in the four-stroke engine to utilize the waste energy has been introduced. The six-stroke engine has significantly improved the fuel working ratio per cycle. Incorporating alternative fuels like hydrogen and HHO into six-stroke technology increases efficiency and minimizes exhaust emissions. A six-stroke engine could be the solution for making hybrid automobile technology more convenient. The review article aims to thoroughly understand the underlying principles behind the improved efficiency of a six-stroke cylinder engine. The researches on the six-stroke cylinder engine are summarized in the literature review. The design configuration of alternative fuels is discussed towards the end of the paper.
