Positive Strokes – Two, Four and Six

Introspecting the world of Two and Four Stroke Technology and looking forward to the future of the Six Stroke Engines

As the prices of oil continually increase as also the emissions from millions of vehicles; would the Six Stroke Engine come as a savior?

The Six-Stroke Engine is a completely new development of the internal combustion engine. Termed six-stroke due to the radical hybridization of two- and four-stroke technology, the devices achieves increased torque and power output, better fuel economy, and cleaner burning with reduced emissions, longer service intervals, and considerably reduced tooling costs when compared with a conventional OHC four-stroke engine.
