Two-stroke engines

Four-stroke engines

If you have read How Car Engines Work and How Diesel Engines Work, then you are familiar with the two types of engines found in nearly every car and truck on the road today. Both gasoline and diesel automotive engines are classified as four-stroke reciprocating internal-combustion engines. There is a third type of engine, known as a two-stroke engine...More

Today Internal combustion engines in cars, trucks, motorcycles, construction machinery and many others, most commonly use a four-stroke cycle. The four strokes refer to intake, compression, combustion and exhaust strokes that occur during two crankshaft rotations per working cycle of Otto Cycle and Diesel engines...More

Six-stroke engine

Atkinson-cycle engine

A six stroke engine describes a number of different approaches in the internal combustion engine to capture the waste heat from the four stroke Otto cycle and use it to power an additional power and exhaust stroke of the piston...More

The Atkinson-cycle engine is a type of internal combustion engine invented by James Atkinson in 1882. The Atkinson cycle is designed to provide efficiency at the expense of power, and is beginning to see applications in modern hybrid electric applications...More

Astron engine (Mitsubishi)

Atmospheric engine| Newcomen steam engine

The Mitsubishi Astron engine or Mitsubishi 4G5 engine, is a series of straight-4 internal combustion engines first built by Mitsubishi Motors in 1972. Engine displacement ranged from 1.8 to 2.6 litres, making it one of the largest four cylinder engines of its time...More

The atmospheric engine invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712, today referred to as a Newcomen steam engine (or simply Newcomen engine), was the first practical device to harness the power of steam to produce mechanical work...More

Beam engine

Bore engine

A beam engine is a design of engine based on the principles of a first-class lever. A force is applied to one end of a beam, which is pivoted in the middle, and the lever action transfers the force to create work at the other end of the beam...More

Bore, when used in the context of piston engines, is a measurement of the diameter of the holes bored into the engine block for use as cylinders. The ratio of stroke to bore is a major factor in defining the characteristics of an engine...More

Booster engine

Beare Head engine

A booster engine for steam locomotives is a small two-cylinder steam engine back-gear-connected to the trailing truck axle on the locomotive or, if none, the lead truck on the tender. A rocking idler gear permits it to be put into operation by the engineer. It would drive one axle only and could be non-reversible with one idler gear or reversible with two idler gears...More

The "Beare Head" is a completely new development of the internal combustion engine. The Beare Head engine combines a four stroke engine bottom end with a ported cylinder head closely resembling that of a two stroke, thus 4+2= six stroke. It has a half speed, smaller opposing piston in the head that acts in unison with auxiliary low pressure reed and rotary valves, allowing intake and exhaust...More
