I like the old 6-stroke engines better:
- Dyer/Crower engine = 5th stroke compresses air only, then inject cold water into the overheated cylinder and has another power stroke on 6th (from the generated steam)
- Ilmor/Schmitz = the exhaust stroke from two normal 4-stroke cylinders power the down-stroke of a 3rd larger cylinder, alternatively, then evacuates the gas on 6th up-stroke. [1]

PS: For some reason, the Ilmor/Schmitz is call a 5-stroke engine.
