6-Stroke anyone?

Swedemoto:
I thought this was a pretty interesting concept just patented by Porsche. I don't know if it would ever make its way to motorcycles, but who knows.

That one made my brain hurt a little.

Their next announcement will be that it only runs on that synthetic fuel they're making in South America.

jcctx:
Very clever; wonder what Mr. Moleev (author of text book on internal combustion engineering) would have to say about this??? As his student I find it quite interesting. Unlike the bright young man in the video, I think it is more mechanically complex than will be acceptable as a production engine???

guzzisteve:
Some engineer was thinking way to far, but interesting. Will it work though or will parts fail because of complexity.

bronzestar1:
Probably another example of German over-engineering, where the engineers are the good idea fairies, and the mechanics just shake their heads "no"...like the brilliant Audi engineers who thought it was a good idea to put the timing chain on the BACK of the engine...
