Emissions testing Why insurance is dependent on the age of the drivers?
With police statistics and scientific studies it shows that young people are the most common cause accidents on the roads. Too high speed, the desire to impress colleagues or colleagues and little experience in managing vehicle are the main causes of dangerous incidents on the road. It is not surprising that insurers often make the amount of insurance premiums was the age of the holder of the vehicle and the number of road events with his participation. Young people, often breaching the rules of the road are in fact for insurers customers not profitable and that is why they use this kind of preventive measures, such as increasing fees for insurance with every accident.
Classification
Classification
There are several possible ways to classify internal combustion engines.
Reciprocating:
By number of strokes
Two-stroke engine
Clerk Cycle 1879 6
Day Cycle
Four-stroke engine (Otto cycle)
Six-stroke engine
By type of ignition
Compression-ignition engine
Spark-ignition engine (commonly found as gasoline engines)
By mechanical/thermodynamical cycle (these 2 cycles do not encompass all reciprocating engines, and are infrequently used):
Atkinson cycle
Miller cycle
Rotary:
Wankel engine
Continuous combustion:
Gas turbine
Jet engine
Rocket engine
Ramjet
The following jet engine types are also gas turbines types:
Turbojet
Turbofan
Turboprop

The six-stroke engine
Five-stroke engine
In 1879, Nikolaus Otto manufactured and sold a double expansion engine (the double and triple expansion principles had ample usage in steam engines), with two small cylinders at both sides of a low-pressure larger cylinder, where a second expansion of exhaust stroke gas took place; the owner returned it, alleging poor performance. In 1906, the concept was incorporated in a car built by EHV (Eisenhuth Horseless Vehicle Company) CT, USA;22 and in the 21st century Ilmor designed and successfully tested a 5-stroke double expansion internal combustion engine, with high power output and low SFC (Specific Fuel Consumption).23
Six-stroke engine
The six-stroke engine was invented in 1883. Four kinds of six-stroke use a regular piston in a regular cylinder (Griffin six-stroke, Bajulaz six-stroke, Velozeta six-stroke and Crower six-stroke), firing every three crankshaft revolutions. The systems capture the wasted heat of the four-stroke Otto cycle with an injection of air or water.
The Beare Head and "piston charger" engines operate as opposed-piston engines, two pistons in a single cylinder, firing every two revolutions rather more like a regular four-stroke.
