problems in SIX Stroke Engine

  Tanny, the problems would not be much different than a 4 cycle being adapted. Which 6 stroke style are you planning to use? If you are going for the additional power stroke like a Crower design, you'll also need to account for the air/water apparatus to power that stroke. The opposed piston style would be much easier. The vehicle would be your design factor to determine power to weight, size, transmission, cooling properties, etc.

  what do you mean bu OPPOSED PISTON STYLE? I cant understand!
  I am planning to design the engine using water as fuel in additional power stroke.
  
  But the problem i am thing about is
  1. would the heat engine will be fair enough to convert water to steam so that it will be able to provide power stroke.
  2. now initially the temp of engine will be low and cant convert the water to steam.
  so what type of technology should i use to regulate the water.
  using microchip or any other u can suggest..?

  There are two main designs for six stroke engines, designs like the Crower engine and the opposed piston style. A quick search will give you the basic operations of both. IF you are planning on using water to power an additional stroke, that will be like the Crower style.

  yes it will be a crower style.
  i wanna know will there be sufficient time for water to get converted into steam?

  hey!
  m not that into piston charger, but if u are thinking of injecting water as in crower's design then there are many problems viz. addition of hot water onto a hot piston head may damage it, need of antifreeze, use of condenser for water circulation ....etc

  now i know how to tackle that problem but the question in my mind is that when water enters the chamber will there be sufficient time for it to get converted into steam because there will be just nano seconds of time for heat transfer

  keep in mind the immense heat of the chamber as well. yeah water does turn and turns to high energy superheated steam.

  Is that true?
  
  now technology have 6 stroke.
  
  Can you list this 6 stroke?

  at the temperature of 1000 F there is no question of time for conversion of water into steam.
