High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Crower six-stroke engine is a high-efficiency variant of an internal combustion engine under development by Bruce Crower. Two extra strokes are added to the customary internal combustion engine four stroke Otto cycle, which makes a six stroke engine. A third down-stroke is a "steam stroke" and a third up-stroke exhausts the expanded steam while venting heat from the engine. The engine cold starts on the Otto cycle, coasting through the fifth and sixth strokes for a short period. After the combustion chamber temperature reaches approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 °C), a mechanical operation phases in the fifth and sixth strokes. Just before the fifth stroke, water is injected directly into the hot combustion chamber via the engine's fuel injector pump, creating steam and another power stroke. The phase change from liquid to steam removes the excess heat of the combustion stroke forcing the piston down (a second power stroke).
