I wish this had a stepper so I could see how things change at each point in the cycle. But even without, quite cool to play with.

#82Whether it's AI generated or not. It's pretty cool for beginners. Only issue is there would be a problem if we think this is how real engines work as there would be lot of tweaks.

#83we have all heard of V8 ... now visualize a W12 ... two pairs of V3 in a Bentley
Don't the Veyron/Chiron have a W16?

why are you so invested in telling ppl in what they are allowed to find useful/entertaining? especially after admitting you dont nkow anything about combustion engines?
Where did I say what people are allowed to find entertaining? It would be insane to tell someone what they should find entertaining, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. As for useful, I'm genuinely trying to understand HOW you find something useful that may or may not have zero accuracy to the thing in which it's portending to showcase? When I don't know about something - I would find someone who's really knowl…

Here I will quote what I said to you - it's super explicit and obvious I'm asking how one would find it useful.
"How is it useful? I'm no expert in combustion engines, so I'd hesitate to rely on a slop graphic like this to learn about them as I doubt the creator has any idea about them either."
Notice I say "How is it useful?" and "I'd hesitate to rely on a slop graphic like this to learn".
I think I'm being very obvious about the fact that I can't understand how one would find it "useful" to "learn". Absolutely NOWHERE did I say you can't be entertained by it.
Re: Combustion engine web-based simulator
#86So if I set the animation speed to 1:1 and set the RPM to 3000, that's what it would look like inside the engine when I'm ready to shift gears? Seems WAY faster than what I expected in real life
3000? Here I am wishing there was some Wankel Rotary representation and you're shifting at 3000? What are you driving, a Peterbilt?
I might be confused here. In the manual car I drive, I shift when the tachometer says 3, which I understand it as being 3000 RPMs?
