Do you know how it works and what it is?


...As you have probably gathered by now, I like technical, I like well engineered, I like practical solutions to improbable situations.....and well, anything to do with engines, machines, and even animations to do with engineering usually found under the heading of "How It Works"

The Flat Four.....

The Rotary Engine...

The Radial Engine...

Inline Four Engine...

V6 Engine.....

Best of all is the American Muscle V8 Engine.....

OK so you got my attention. I always wondered how my motor worked in my race car. Even though I've seen motors built and have been around my crew chief while tearing down and rebuilding I didn't really understand the "workings" of the pistons, rods, springs and all. I have broken many rockers along the way.

Thank you Jetman, that was great information. Wow, that was awesome! (what woman says that?)

...Typical 5-Speed Gear Shift in Typical Japanese type Gearbox.....

Typical Automatic Transmission Animation...

Powershift 6 Speed Automatic Transmission.....

Simplified Jet Engine Animation.....

VERY Basic Principle of How Your Sewing Machine Works to Stitch.....

What format are you posting in (the non-video ones)?

We just added AutoCAD & have built a few articulated assembly models,

p.s.: Interesting universal joint - Really simple and really unique - Going quite insane trying to resist the temptation to grab a pencil & analyze the forces

I see your missing a motorcycle engine. I remember that some one had one from the V Twin motor some where.

2 -Stroke Engine...

Very Basic V-Twin ...

That is a very basic drawing.....the actual UJ is way more complicated with steel ball needle races on pivoting shafts to accomodate flexing between the 2 surfaces, shaft thickness and pivot shafts are bigger than shown, not strong enough or durable enough at those thicknesse...A complicated UJ, but efficient - Needs good oil supply to remain low friction and low noise, it needs a sticky heavier oil to lubricate it, I used some Molibdinum grease added to Hypoid EP 90 at a ratio of 5:1 grease to oil...this produces an approx 120 weight oil... (Good for noisy stick shift boxes prior to selling the car to the first ummm 'intelligent' person that comes along) ...lol...

I am trying to find out where I can get a copy of this software now...lol...

Harley V-Twin...



Want to know why it sounds unique?

THERE it is.....lol.....

I did try and find it...lol...I have it on a hard drive somewhere but I have spent too long looking for it.....Nice one Lucky...lol...saved me from pulling out too much hair!!!

 

And I'm all fkd up.

That was the best time I spent goofing off at work in a very long time! Thank you... I actually feel like I used my brain a little bit and learned something instead of reading fluff. Very nicely done.

Hey!!!  I LIKE reading Fluff!!!!! 


Errrm, we are talking about any old Cr*p aint we?  ...lol...

That was cool!! Loved all the animations!
