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.

If anyone is looking for a hands on educational model, my 6 year old and I put together a model V8 engine [1] (made by Haynes of technical manual fame I think) that does a pretty reasonable job of capturing the essence of the main parts of an internal combustion engine. It kept him (and me) thoroughly engrossed for a few hours.

I had no idea until I read your comment that you could click and drag the engine models! Insane!
The text immediately before the first image says “You can drag it around to see it from other angles”. Our attention spans are deteriorating quickly…
Ditto. Thanks.
