Animated CO2 engine by Keveney

There’s something strangely hypnotic in the cyclic movement of an engine, be it steam, CO2, Stirling or internal combustion.  Over at Keveney.com there’s some very lovely animated illustrations of lots of engine types, showing just how they work in beautiful clarity.  I found it most enlightening, especially for the above CO2 engine, and the two cylinder Stirling engine.  Round and round and round they go, some beautiful in their simplicity, others baffling with their eccentric rotation!  Certainly helps me understand them though, so a treasure indeed.  Thank you, Mr Duppi!
