<VV> 6 stroke engine - no Corvair

Guys,
The latest Autoweek has a story about a new 6 stroke engine - designed & developed by Crower (Cams) - it functions like a normal 4 stroke for the first four strokes, on the fifth stroke the intake does not open - near TDC water is injected into the hot cylinder to form a steam stroke, and the sixth stroke exhausts the steam.  Apparently the steam stroke also removes enough heat that the engine requires no additional cooling.
Pretty weird.
