[edit] Six Stroke engine

It appears that an American, Crower, and an Indian team, have both developed and patented different versions of the six-stroke engine - one that involves an injection of air and one that involves an injection of water. Because the article was initially written about the Indian team, it currently gives more weight to that engine than the Crower engine. I'm not sure at this point which one is more notable. I'm also not sure whether the two engines should be covered in the same article or separate articles. Thoughts? --Hyperbole 21:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

There are two other six stroke engine designs known as Beare Head and Bajulaz Six Stroke engine. I have added informations regarding them too in this article. I feel that this article " six stroke engine " should be written such that, it describes the various six stroke engine designs. --Drakefroster 22:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beare Head

27 October 2007:

Proceedings have commenced in the Federal Court of Australia (NSD2132/2007)under the Corporations Act and Trade Practices Act, against Malcolm Beare, Steve Eleftheriadis, Reference Audio Visual, Speed of Light Pty Ltd ("DropBears") . Further legal advice is sought on defamation by the Directors of the company. http://esearch.fedcourt.gov.au/Esearch (Ref: NSD2132/2007)

That would be more convincing with a link to a site confirming that comment. Your comment is not a legal threat, that I can see, but please read WP:LEGAL which may become relevant if this discussion continues further. Cheers. (P.S. You can sign your posts by putting 4 tildes (~~~~) after your posts. P.P.S It's normal round here to add your comments at the bottom of the talk page.) 4u1e 20:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the edits of Malbeare (talk · contribs) at Internal combustion engine and Six stroke engine, I got this e-mail: (assuming permission to quote and discuss here)

Personally I'm not at all familiar with this topic, so I'll have to leave it to other editors to evaluate whether the inclusion of your links would be encyclopedically appropriate. Remember Wikipedia's goal is to create content, not to collect external articles. They might be cited by someone else as sources however, the dispute about the technology may be encyclopedically notable itself. The articles are not the place to fight it out though. Writing about yourself in the articles and repeatedly posting links there to a site that you own is frowned upon, as you may have noticed. Fortunately, this equally applies to both sides of this conflict. If there is disputed or excessively promotional content, feel free to remove it and/or move it to the talkpage for discussion (always provide descriptive edit summaries with your edits). Just resist the urge to 'improve' it by replacing it with your own. Propose additions for other editors to review on the talkpages, where any expert knowledge on the subject is more than welcome. The burden of proof lies with the content to demonstrate neutrality and to reach consensus for its inclusion. Femto 13:05, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The term "Six Stroke"

For the claim of who coined it, Mr. Beare provided this reference (1.6 MiB PDF) from 1994 showing his use of the term. Femto 16:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is the downside?

Based on the information in this article, it would be crazy not to use these engines, yet the article does not report their commercial adoption. This suggests that either some claims are false or major negative characteristics are omitted. Harold f (talk) 02:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

With such a huge investment in the 4 stroke concept it will take at least 10 years for a good new radical concept to have much of an impact on an industry like motor car manufacture. Lumos3 (talk) 09:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
