How Stuff Works: Truly Cool, Simple Animations For The Laity

OldSouth has a buddy from academia whom he admires, and whose intellectual shoes he cannot tie.

A link from said buddy led to this, an elegant series of animated gifs that simply illustrate the ingenuities of the constant velocity joint, rotary engine, and much more.

As the Psalmist David noted: We are fearfully and wonderfully made. At our best, we create things like constant velocity joints, laser scalpels, the sonata-allegro and fugue forms, the pipe organ, the sonnet, golf, baseball, perspective in painting, the list goes on and on.

OS hopes you enjoy this bit of inspiration. We, who so often create chaos, are capable of such inspired greatness.
