This guy, Bartosz Ciechanowski, does the most well described and understandable blog posts on science and engineering that I've come across online.

This is incredible. I remember the Gears example from the same site, but now with 3D renderings. Great work.

This was really educational! I love the design of the webpage, and I especially like how you can rotate the 3d diagrams and see each component from every angle.

I had no idea until I read your comment that you could click and drag the engine models! Insane!

It's a lot scarier when you see things going under load at speed. Lots of wiggling, twisty magic, waves.

Smokey Yunick (blessed be his name) used to make see-through timing covers, oil pans, valve covers + strobe light + some sort of oscilloscope setup to watch the craziness. I think I remember seeing the results for small block Chevrolet timing gears on sprint car engines as the teeth wiggled more and more with rpm. Cam went backwards and forwards. Ooof.
