As usual I woke up in the middle of the night.  At least i learned something this time.
That guy explained it well, I liked being able to move the animations around to see things

Love the engine, the mind that thought up that cannon shot to turn a piston, creating thrust to do “work”. Incredible and what an incredible world we live in....now I just gotta figure out how to rebuild the gears on my HD. Just for fun.

Great find Erik. Mechanics of ICE never cease to amaze even after over a century.

thanks for the share.   I sent this to my grandkids.   Very cool.  

When I was young, we purchased a see thru plastic working model of the V8.

We had one of those too! The Museum of Science in Boston also had a really nice exhibit on them.

I figured you’d watch this and think ‘ what an elementary look at the internal combustion engine.’ 🤣
