Interesting thing. If you read the article it doesn't REALLY explain how it works. When is the water injected EXACTLY? How does it become six strokes? I tried piecing it together after reading it a few times and the closest I could get was this:
1. Initial intake stroke-gas/air goes in
2. Initial compression stroke
Ignition
3. Intial power stroke
4. 2nd compression stroke
Water injection???
5. Steam power stroke
6. Steam and conventional combustion exhaust stroke.
Does this make sense? It seems like you would lose a lot of power by re-compressing the initial combustion gasses in the 2nd compression stroke.
Also, all the moisture in the system is going to be tough on the oil.
