Animations of engines...

Good review.

That Gnome Rotary is very cool. 

[TheIntrepid]

This was cool.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Cool. That makes me want to build a Stirling engine to power a lawn mower or something.

That Gnome Rotary is very cool. 

I like this tidbit:

The romantic-looking scarf the pilot wore was actually a towel used to wipe the slimy stuff off his goggles!

Huh!

a much cooler wankle animation

Check out some videos of engines some of our customers have made:

These engines were modeled with SolidWorks - the software I develop.

I'm impressed!

I wish i still had the animation I did for a senior class project in college - it was a 4 cylinder double acting engine (meaning a combustion chamber on both sides of the piston)... it was crazy

I think it was done on IDEAS CAD softare and i never found something after college that could read the files so i flipped the disks

That's pretty cool. Right now I'm taking a class called "Introduction to Engineering Graphics" or something, where we basically learn to do AutoCAD and SolidEdge. By the end of the semester, each group of 5 in the class has to model something that has at least 25 parts. One of the examples was a Pushrod V8 engine that was really good for an intro class, but not nearly as cool as the ones you posted. Plus the one that he had showed a translucent block so that you could see all the parts working together. It was pretty neat.

Anyway, my group decided to do a Paintball gun. I'll make sure to post the animation up here when I'm finished.

with the exception of late nights spent in the CAD room, those were my favorite classes in college 

I actually have a copy of SolidEdge on my laptop at home - it seems to be a pretty good program from the few times i played around in to to design stuff... it seems to be closer to the IDEAS program i learned in college to anything else i've tried.
