A method for a combustion engine has a working cycle of three revolutions of the crankshaft. The method includes: feeding a fuel mixture into a combustion chamber of a cylinder while moving a piston from a second top dead-center to a first bottom dead-center; compressing an air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber while moving the piston from the first bottom dead-center to a first top dead-center; burning the air-fuel mixture while moving the piston from the first top dead-center to a second bottom dead-center; compressing a gas mixture in the combustion chamber while moving the piston from the second bottom dead-center to the first top dead-center; burning the gas mixture while moving the piston from the first top dead-center to the first bottom dead-center; and expelling the gas mixture from the combustion chamber while moving the piston from the first bottom dead-center to the second top dead-center.

A converting mechanical system including a dual connecting rod having a top section adapted to be pivotally connected to a piston on a conventional internal combustion engine and a bottom section adapted to be connected to a crankshaft of a conventional internal combustion engine. A support surrounds each dual connecting rod and includes a retractable device. A decoupling device is adapted to be located on the crankshaft a conventional internal combustion engine. The dual connecting rod has a first working position and in which the dual connecting rod is rigid and connected to the crankshaft when the piston moves. In the second working position, the dual connecting rod disconnects the crankshaft from the piston by action of the decoupling device.

A six-stroke engine includes a cylinder, a piston, a cylinder head, a combustion chamber, an intake port, an exhaust port, an intake valve, an exhaust valve, a fuel injector, and an ignition plug. The six-stroke engine includes a valve gear that operates the intake valve and the exhaust valve to execute an intake stroke, a compression stroke with ignition, an expansion stroke with combustion, an exhaust stroke, an expansion stroke without combustion, and a compression stroke without ignition. The valve gear opens, only for a predetermined period of time while the piston is located at top dead center, at least one of the intake valve and the exhaust valve within a period from the exhaust stroke to the intake stroke. A valve overlap state is produced at least once within the period from the exhaust stroke to the intake stroke.

A method for improving the efficiency of an internal combustion engine having a cycle, for each cylinder of the engine, including intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes, comprises inserting two strokes into the cycle in addition to the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. No material other than air is introduced into each cylinder during either of the additional two strokes. A high efficiency internal combustion engine system having a cycle, for each cylinder of the engine, including intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes, comprises a cylinder, a piston, an air intake device, a fuel injector, an exhaust valve device, a camshaft, and an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to control cylinder operation such that two strokes, in addition to the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes, are inserted into the cycle. No material other than air is introduced into each cylinder during either of the additional two strokes.

An efficient thermal energy power engine is disclosed. A gasification reactor is arranged on a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. Gasifying plates are arranged with gaps on the cylinder head. An upper portion of the gasification reactor is connected to an atomizer. The atomizer is connected to a pressure pump via a pipe.
