Abstract:
An internal combustion engine designed to operate on a six-stroke cycle, said internal combustion engine comprising:a) at least one piston and cylinder assembly including a piston reciprocally mounted within a cylinder and intake and exhaust valves cooperatively mounted to regulate fluid flow into and out of said cylinder and ignition means for igniting a combustible mixture within said cylinder,b) an injection assembly connected in fluid communication between a water supply and said cylinder,c) a sensor assembly at least partially connected to said cylinder and structured to determine physical characteristics within said cylinder,d) a central processor responsive to said sensor assembly so as to determine the energy content within said cylinder during at least a first predetermined portion of the six-stroke cycle, ande) said central processor operatively connected to said injection assembly to control at least the quantity of water injected into said cylinder during at least a second predetermined portion of the six-stroke cycle based on said energy content.
