REVIEW:
This is a good resource for helping students understand how an engine works. The engines are grouped into three categories: internal combustion, steam and stirling. Visitors to the site can see the inner workings of a variety of engines such as the locomotive, jet propulsion, oscillating, and many others work. The animations are accompanied by explanations of how the engine works and other diagrams to enhance understanding. Included is an interesting article on how the animations were created. Perhaps the best thing about the site is that the animations are made in the animated GIF format, which just about any Web browser can handle without any additional plug-ins! |
