Maybe you know about 2 and 4-stroke engines, but most of you don’t know about a Wankel, an Atkinson, a Gnome Rotary or jet propulsion and many others. See them at work in cool graphic animations. May also help you fall asleep at bed time… Animated Engines. (thank you Troy)

I heart my wankel. Its fun as heck.
Very cool
Very cool thanks for posting
Wow! Is that ever neat!!! I never thought a Sterling engine would work until my boss brought a small one in to work. It worked great!! He is a journeyman machinist trained in the UK and this was one of his apprentice projects. Thanks for the info above and beyond the usual!
Saw a Gnome Rotary run at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in sept. What a sound, blip throttle and ignition that cuts out cylinders when less power is needed. No wonder the life of a WW1 fighter pilot was so short. Brave souls they were.
I use something similar in my Auto Shop class. The kids really get a good understanding of how things work. Thanks for posting.
I’m surprised a conventional Radial Engine is not depicted..
Ride on
Great enthusiast content that reaches across all segments (Manny the pr/marketing guy comment).
Bitchin’ (Manny the moto-enthusiast comment).
Thanks Cyril.
I have been using this site for years to teach my students how internal and external combustion engines work, great animations, very good explanations, I highly recommend!!!!
