    Six stroke engine invented!

    This'll appeal to the mechanically-minded folks amongst us:

    Love that engine sound!!!!!
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    they always go on about things being radical and new. Yet when i mention it to my granfather he always manages to come up with an example of where the same technique was done during the 30's or 40s. So i dont believe in radical new engines now

    yea, that guy in Aus has been building those engines for a fair while now, must be at least 5 years if not a lot more and nothing seems to have happened.

    Cool concept though.

    Shame that a lot of technology like this might get binned cause of the oil running out. Hopefully they'll find a substitute. Isn't ethanol a clean burning fuel source or something?
