Oh my gosh! I’m so happy to see this site is still around. I remember using this to learn about engines when I was little. Thank you for sharing!

Do you have any other similar websites which explain things related to automobiles or aerospace?

Looking at all of these I'm happy to know that computer precision and magnets are replacing our traditional engines. We've gotten really good at squeezing every bit of efficiency out of internal combustion, but it's wild to me that, as someone else said, "boom make car go." Controlled explosions feels very archaic for how much effort we put into driving.

Look up how an impact drill works.. in slow motion its literally teeth slamming into eachother to spin the motion and its not as smooth tolerance as it would seem when you play it normal speed
