SIX STROKE ENGINES VELOZETA MODEL

Introduction  Two different approaches of six stroke engines  First approach There is two additional strokes by the main piston as fifth and sixth stroke  Second approach It uses a second opposed piston which moves at half the cyclical rate of the main piston

History of six stroke engines  First Category 1. Griffin six stroke engine 2. Bajulaz six stroke engine 3. Crower six stroke engine 4. Velozeta six stroke engine  Second Category 1. Beare head six stroke engine 2. Charge pump engine

Velozeta’s six stroke engine  A four stroke Honda engine is altered to form the six stroke engine  First four strokes are same as a conventional four stroke engine  In the fifth stroke, air is sucked in to the cylinder  In the sixth stroke, a mixture of air and unburned gases leaves out.

Engine parts modified 1.Camshaft / Crankshaft Sprockets :-  Crankhas 1080 degrees of rotation for 360 rotation of camshaft  Hence their corresponding sprockets are having teeth ratio 3:1  34 teeth sprocket of camshaft in the four stroke is replaced by 42 teeth sprocket  17 teeth crankshaft sprocket is replaced by 14 teeth sprocket

2.Cam lobes:-  360 degrees of cam has divided into 60 degrees among six strokes  Inlet valve is opened in the first stroke only and the exhaust valve, in the fourth, fifth and sixth strokes by the exhaust valve cam.  The exhaust valve cam is double lobed

3.Valve Timing:-  IVO at 0 degree at TDC  IVC at 25 degree after BDC  EVO at 0 degree at BDC which was 25 degree before BDC in the original engine  EVC at 10 degree before TDC  Air inlet reed valve is opened in the fifth stroke and then for the sixth stroke exhaust valve is opened

4.Secondary Air Induction System :-  It supplies air which is used in the fifth and sixth stroke  During the fifth stroke air is sucked into the cylinder through a reed valve provided on the secondary air induction line  In the sixth stroke a second reed valve at the exhaust manifold opens and removes the mixture of air and unburned gases

Working of the engine First stroke:- During the first stroke the inlet valve (6) opens and air-fuel mixture from carburetor is sucked into the cylinder through the inlet manifold (2).

Second stroke:- During the second stroke, piston moves from BDC to TDC, both the inlet valve (6) and exhaust valve (11) are closed and the air-fuel mixture is compressed. The compression ratio of the modified engine is same as that of the original four stroke Honda engine 9:1. Third stroke:- During the third stroke, power is obtained from the engine by igniting the compressed air- fuel mixture using a spark plug (14). Both valves remain closed. Piston moves from TDC to BDC.

Fourth stroke:- During the fourth stroke, the exhaust valve (11) and the reed valve (23) opens to remove the burned gases from the engine cylinder. Piston moves from BDC to TDC. Fifth stroke:- During the fifth stroke, the exhaust valve (11) remains open and the reed valve (23) closes. Fresh air from the air filter (24) enters the cylinder through the secondary air induction line (21) provided at the exhaust manifold (13). The reed valve (22) opens. Sixth stroke:- During the sixth stroke, the exhaust valve (11) remains open. The air sucked into the cylinder during the fifth stroke is removed to the atmosphere through the exhaust manifold (13). The reed valve (23) opens and the reed valve (22) closes.

Advantages  Reduction in fuel consumption  Reduction in pollution normally up to 65%  Better scavenging and more extraction of work per cycle  Lower engine temperature - easy to maintain the optimum engine temperature level for better performance  The engine does’t require any basic modification to the existing engines. All technological experience and production methods remain unaltered  Higher overall efficiency

Conclusion The six stroke engine modification promises dramatic reduction of pollution and fuel consumption of an internal combustion engine. The fuel efficiency of the engine can be increased and also the valve timing can be effectively arranged to extract more work per cycle. Better scavenging is possible as air intake occurs during the fifth stroke and the exhaust during the sixth stroke. Due to more air intake, the cooling system is improved. It enables lower engine temperature and therefore increases in the overall efficiency.
