Amazing stuff - always known how engines work, but never actually seen it before. Reassuring to know it looks like I imagined it would. :lol:

That's so cool!

A long time ago a friend was teaching me about mechanical stuff and how engines worked. "Suck, squeeze, bang, blow" was his memorable way of describing it :D This would also be a really good way of learning how engines work - to actually see it happen!

Very cool - thanks for the link!

Notta problem. I found it fascinating to watch.

Geez you'd think the litter bugger standing inside the cylinder in the first one could've held the camera steady :roll: :lol:

You evil bastard, I've been trying to forget those engineering maths lectures. :)
