Janus Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 10% improvement on the conventional 4 stroke engine. Provides 150bhp per litre. I think 4 strokes will become obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peak4 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 This is a wind up isn`t it ? Listen mate, check your facts first. It looks like it exists, in prototype form at least; http://www.ilmor.co.uk/capabilities/5-stroke-engine And yes, there's a 3 stroke engine too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_cycle_three-stroke_engine I find the action of the Atkinson engine quite hypnotic myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissoftley Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 interesting but 4 stroke engines can already produce much more than 150bhp per litre.http://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/uk/en/index.html?content=http://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/uk/en/bike/sportbikes/2014/s1000rr/s1000rr_overview.html¬rack=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubaidani13 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Listen mate, check your facts first. yes and? puzzled as to why you decry others then on other driving threads:huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 It looks like it exists, in prototype form at least; http://www.ilmor.co.uk/capabilities/5-stroke-engine From that video it looks like it's a type of a compound engine. If steam engines have been successfully using the principle to gain efficiency for centuries, it's reasonable to suspect it could be successfully applied to internal combustion engines.

tzijlstra Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 We've got a 5-cylinder car, excellent engine! (5-stroke sounds interesting as well by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
