Mechanical Animations

Found through Makezine.com and other linked sites.

Only some of the couple cool animations on mechanisms from this blog, World of Technology.

This is known as the Maltese Cross.

How a sewing machine works.
How a manual transmission works.

Rotary or Wankel engine, with an interesting concept. The center blue triangle piece is made of the intersection of 3 circles.


Here's another cool site that I found when looking around that has animations on lots of basic mechanical devices. They're flash, so I can't embed them in this blog like a gif.
