The topic is the split-cycle engine:- Scuderi engine under the category of the split-cycle engine. this engine is under an internal combustion engine.
Scuderi engine, this engine is also known as split-cycle engine, under the category of the internal combustion engine this cycle is invented by the J. Scuderi in (April 13,1925) but this split-cycle engine is since 1914, over the tear many split-cycle configurations have been developed.
This engine has two cylinders each performs two tasks or two strokes of a conventional engine
According to Mr. Scuderi, this engine is based on their first prototype engine, which runs virtually on any liquid fuel with much higher efficiency than any other internal combustion engine, this engine comes with high combustion pressure. Built-in a compressor, the main motive of the split-cycle engine is improved efficiency and the reduction of emission. According to the Scuderi group, this engine produces 80% fewer toxins than a typical internal combustion engine.

Let's see the types of strokes of the otto cycle
Suction
Compression
Expansion
Exhaust
The cycle each cylinder performs all four strokes per cycle, so the two revolutions of the crank are required for each power stroke. Scuderi engines have the capability to fires in each revolution.
Advantages as per Scuderi group (All test done in the lab)
Improved efficiency
Reduces the toxic emissions
This engine comes under the hybrid system
Disadvantages
This required extra valves on the per pair cylinder
Due to extra valves, more moving mechanism, and more maintenance required
Precision machining required
Future scope and other improved engine design are
Five stroke
Six stroke
Two and four strokes.
